This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs.

The lentils in this salad were a bit too al dente for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less beetroot or adding some tart ingredients to balance out the sweetness.
