  Really nice lunch, especially good that it's healthy eating friendly too! This surprised me as I prepared it to feel virtuous if I'm honest, but we both really enjoyed it, despite having strong carnivorous tendencies!

  Easy to cook your own Puy Lentils with bay leaf onion and carrot no salt but salt when cooked, needless expense as usual.

  Gorgeous! No cumin so used tarragon. Roasted onion with carrots to add caramelised flavoour. Not enough for next day - nothing wrong with portion size, more to do with greed of two people eating it! Might try rocket next time.

  Really delicious and I could taste that it was healthy too. I made with spinach instead of lambs lettuce and this also worked well.

  Absolutely delicious but used more dressing than specified as the first time it was a bit dry. Also cooked my own lentils, no trouble and they cook while the carrots are roasting, the flavour is infinitely better than preprepared.

  One of the most tastiest salads I've tasted!! Yum Yum! I didn't have any lambs lettuce, but used a mixture of rocket and watercress and spinach instead (a salad bag at nearby supermarket). So recommend this x I'm going to try the leftovers cold tomorrow

  Delicious, super tasty and healthy. I didn't bother with the honey as am not keen on overly sweet savoury dishes and did not seem to matter a jot.

  Hooray - I've finally found a lentil salad that I like! I used mozzarella rather than feta and it was lovely, and just as good cold for lunch the next day.

  I wasn't overly keen on this, i felt the cumin was too overpowering and took away the rest of the flavours. Will try again next time with a lot less.

  This was absolutely gorgeous. Had it without the lettuce in a lunchbox the next day cold. Just as nice. Have to say I thought 1tbsp honey rather alot, I just drizzled a bit over, probably only just a tsp; the carrots sweeten it quite alot naturally.Also I cooked up my own lentils ( approx 125g dried ) with a clove of garlic, a bay leaf and some salt and pepper.

  Perfect for what it is - a healthy, light meal or starter/side. Used rocket instead of lambs lettuce and think it added a lovely new peppery flavour to the saltiness of the feta and the sweetness of the carrot. Will be making again. Lovely colours too!
