I've tried a lot of different lentil salads, but this one is by far the best. The curry dressing is perfect and the lentils are cooked to perfection.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before and then let it chill in the fridge overnight. The flavors meld together and it's even better the next day.
