This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a great source of protein and fiber.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but this salad was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making it again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lentils. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Maybe I'll try a different recipe next time.

The salad was a little too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I would have liked the salad more if there were more dressing. Maybe next time I'll try doubling the recipe.

This salad is so versatile. I've added grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and even fruit to it and it's always delicious.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. The flavors just get better the longer it sits.
