  A beautiful salad ! We loved it. I used raspberry vinegar & cider vinegar in equal parts instead of balsamic, and added a splash of hazelnut oil (because I didn't have any pumpkin seed oil which would have been my choice) I also left the onion slices in an ice bath and drained them just before adding them in the salad bowl. And finally, I used dry lentils instead of a can. I boiled the dry green lentils 10 min in unsalted water, then added the salt and boiled 10 more minutes. And used feta cheese since I have no idea what cheshire cheese is ! Just perfect ! Will certainly do it again ! May be with grated raw beetroot instead of tomatoes.

  Absolutely scrummy. I also used dried lentils and feta, and pumpkin because I couldn't find squash. Delicious, and the leftovers were equally good the next day.

  Beautiful recipe, great salad. I added a good splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a squeeze of lemon juice to lift the seasoning. Also using feta instead of cheshire cheese, missing out the pumpkin seeds although they would've been great. Fantastic salad thats ready for the lunchbox

  This is absolutely delicious - so fresh tasting! I'm taking leftovers for lunch tomorrow, and I can't wait! I also used feta as could not get any cheshire cheese this evening. Thanks!

  Great lunch! I made a simple lemon and oil dressing instead of the vinegar and mustard and also heated up the lentils with a little bay leaf and thyme. I also cooked the red onion for about 5 minutes, to take the sharpness off. Delicious!

  Really nice. Second time I made it is sauteed some mushrooms and carrot with garlic and thyme. At the end i added the lentils and dressing to warm them trough. I liked it better that way but either way was very tasty!

  Excellent recipe, I'm on a diet so i omitted the oil, cheese and pumpkin seeds. Was absolutely delicious. Would definitely make again. I did double the spinach to make it a bigger salad and extra nutritious!!
