Curried Lentil and Cashew Salad image

This slightly exotic lentil salad can be made many ways, curried is just the one I like best. The cook time is for the lentils, they must be done to your preference. The vegetables are meant to be raw.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some cooked lentils in the fridge and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not usually a fan of lentils, but this salad changed my mind. The lentils were cooked perfectly and had a wonderful texture. The curry spices were flavorful but not overpowering.

This curried lentil and cashew salad was a delightful explosion of flavors! The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy was perfectly balanced. I especially loved the crunch from the cashews and the freshness from the cilantro.
