I made this recipe to take to a softball club BBQ. It was an outstanding success and voted best salad at the BBQ. So would recommend it as an economical, easy to make and delicious dish with a colourful presentation.

This was really good. I didn't know what to expect since it is my first experience with lentil salad, but it certainly won't be the last. The only change I made to the recipe was to lower the amount of oil. I do agree with one review that it is best served in smaller quantities since it is quite bold. I will be making this again.

Cooking lentils on low heat will help them keep their structure. It takes a little longer, but it will keep them from turning into dal. Also, french lentils are smaller and fatter than other lentils (ie: most lentils you find in the supermarket). French lentils are used when you want to keep them whole for salads and such. I have done the low heat on regular lentils, and it works for me. Also, salting your water before you bring the lentils to a boil can help them keep their shape.

The girlfriend was so-so on this, but I enjoyed it. I think it would make a healthy and economical addition to a BBQ or picnic. The meat-eaters in out family LOVE grilled lamb and I bet that this would be a hit as a side dish.
