I was disappointed with this salad. It didn't have much flavor and the texture was mushy.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the lentils.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.
