Overall, I was disappointed with this salad. I found it to be bland, time-consuming to make, and not worth the effort.

This salad was too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.

The lentils in this salad were still a bit crunchy, even after cooking them for the recommended time. I would recommend cooking them for a few extra minutes.

I used dried lentils instead of canned lentils. They took a little longer to cook, but they were worth the extra effort.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this salad changed my mind! The sweetness of the apples and grapes balances out the earthiness of the lentils.
