Hearty and delicious way to serve green lentils - onions make it sweet, almonds are for texture. YUMMY! Soaking the lentils the night before may help with the gas but not necessary.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but this salad actually changed my mind. The lentils are so tender and flavorful, and the dressing is out of this world. I'll definitely be making this again!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils. It's also a great make-ahead meal, since it tastes even better the next day.

The dressing for this salad is amazing! It's tangy, sweet, and a little bit spicy. I could drink it straight! The lentils and vegetables are also cooked perfectly.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a more flavorful dressing. The lentils were also a bit overcooked.

Followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great! The lentils were tender and the vegetables were crisp. The dressing was also very good, with a nice balance of tanginess and sweetness. A keeper!

This lentil salad was a hit at our last potluck! The lentils were cooked perfectly and the dressing was light and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the feta cheese and red onion, which gave the salad a nice tang. Will definitely be making
