    yum yum yum. I used no oil whatsoever (on purpose, of course hmmm) and it is truly delicious! Loving the ginger kick ;-) Texture of crisp veg is lovely with the lentils and the dressing. Beware not to overcook the veg and I do think that the cooling process is important in this recipe to stop the veg cooking and wilting. Used the soya beans and tender stem but added frozen garden peas as no sugar snaps. Another time will try with different green veg. I had it for lunch today and will take the rest to work in a tupperware box for lunch tomorrow. Im a veggie myself but will make a massive batch and also serve this with some other oriental styled meats (possibly the five spice pork recipe) and rice for a meal with my partner. Recommended!

    A lovely dish full of flavour. I used tinned lentils (not Puy) as I had them in store. I also substituted broad beans for soya beans, perfect. I had too much dressing so I saved it for another dish. My veggie friends loved this dish I cooked for a dinner party.

    Every time I have made this, at least one person has asked for the recipe. Loved by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Has the added bonus that I can prepare it in advance. Great for buffet-style meals.

    This recipe was utterly amazing! I had to use peas because in Germany soya beans are not widely available, but it was still gorgeous. Very flavoursome. Yum yum!

    Beautiful fresh and healthy have made lots of times and keeps really well in the fridge for two or three days which makes it ideal for taking to work . I've made it with walnut oil when I've ran out of sesame oil and it also works well with green lentils if you want a cheaper option. It goes well with lots of things as a side but is also great as a main .

    Amazing dish, I'd never tried Puy lentils before and this salad will definitely become a weekly staple in our house. Served it with sweet chilli salmon fillets for dinner and then had leftovers for lunch the next day with half a tin of tuna thrown in, both were amazing!
