Very good salad. Loved the balsamic in it. Was a hot day and except for boiling the lentils, it kept the kitchen cool.

Yummy! I used 1 cup canned lentils which I heated up and drained and cut the recipe in half. Served with a toasted whole wheat tortilla. Thanks for sharing!

This is a very good alternative, using lentils, which I am always looking for. The leftovers were also good right out of the fridge. Thanks, Bekah, for a great recipe!
