I didn't think I was a lentil fan until I tried this salad....amazing! The feta made it extra tasty. I didn't change a thing about the recipe and I thought it was perfect.
A must have salad for Summer!

Great salad for summertime eating, and this in one that would be easily transportable to a cookout or bbq (with the dressing in a little jar). Loved the different flavours and textures. I used a mild feta, as Kate suggested, Dodonis brand. Really delicious.

This is a fantastic lentil salad. The good thing is it gets better and better the longer you keep it. I used French goat cheese to be consistent with the origin of the recipe, but I can see that feta will work wonderfully too. I really enjoyed the creamy chesse with the lentils. I added salt and pepper to the cut cherry tomatoes, before I mixed them with the lentils. I did not use the salad greeens, as I took the salad to a barbecue. I will include this salad as part of a Mediterranean buffet for 180 people and will prepare it two days in advance to make sure that all the flavours will be able to develop. Thank you Kate for a keeper.

I had lentils already cooked so I didn't need the stock. I added the carrot and celery raw to the lentils. Which I must say I liked the crunchy texture. This has lots of different flavors and textures going on and they all did meld together except for the creamy cheese. I did use roasted garlic in the dressing. Onions were subbed for the scallions. Not saying the scallions wouldn't have been good it `s what I had. I served it on baby spinach. A wonderful healthy side or main meal.

The aroma of this was amazing as the lentils were cooking. Even my daughters, who hate lentils, had to look in the pot to see what it was. My scallions were ultra-mild so I had to add a little onion powder to give the salad a little kick because it was too bland on first taste. This was a truly enjoyable salad.

A wonderful summer salad, a real classic! I cooked up the lentils on a cooler day, then just whipped up the salad in time for a hot spell. The aroma of the lentils cooking is wonderful; makes you just want to eat them then! I used feta cheese and omitted the capers since I really don't like them. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is a delightful salad that turned out very well even though I was missing the carrots and celery. Thanks for sharing!
