As others mentioned it is a great base to add other ingredients but great as it is. Good dressing. Definitely one to put in your binder.

I used this as base for a warm butternut squash and goats cheese salad using mixed baby leaves and without the lentils - amazing. The dressing is great, although I added a squeeze of lemon joice as well.

Delicious, I didn't have any puy lentils so used green and it worked fine. Love the dressing.

Amazing salad, so tasty. Would defiantly recommend.

Delicious, easy to make, it's a winner all round ... even the men ate the salad and enjoyed it!

An absolutely superb salad! I didn't have enough rocket so I combined with spinach and it was just a dream! I served it with the duck breast with five spice powder, also from your site. Thanks for a great recipe!

My butter squash turned into mash and I just used green lentils. Fabulous!

Hm, I was expecting a lot from this recipe and maybe it is because I used wheat instead of lentils but the taste was not fantastic :/ Don't take me wrong, it is a tasty dish, but nothing above average for my taste. Next time I'll try lentils and I hope 'll change my mind :)

Just made this for lunch. I cut down the amount of olive oil suggested for the dressing as I am dieting but it didn't seem to affect the flavour at all. Dressing is really tasty and went really well with the squash and lentils. We had this as a warm salad...yum.

This has become a favourite in our house! I'm not keen on raw (spring) onion, or raw garlic, so I fry some red onion and garlic instead. I also marinate cooked king prawns in the dressing and add chunks of feta to the salad - absolutely delicious!

I just made this today after salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs when I saw the photo!
I exchanged the rocket for green beans and also added a few halved baby plum tomatoes and a sprinkling of coriander. It was absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be recreating it again! Before I served it up I thought the idea of added halloumi would be nice but to be honest it really doesn't need it and it would simply be adding unnecessary calories.

Fantastic dressing - it would work with virtually anything that needs a robust flavoured accompaniment.

served hot or cold?

yummy and filling a big hit with other half which is quite and acheivment for something as healthy as a salad!

Made this recently on one of those hot summer evenings, and am back to make it again. I cheated and microwaved the squash for 7 mins before chucking it in the oven to finish off. I also added feta and radishes thinly sliced, worked really well.

I've tried this salad but used Righteous Ginger & Toasted Sesame salad dressing (didn't have time to make my own!) Check it out http://youtu.be/26KEehfpl-8

Great salad, even more delicious dressing. The dressing is now part of my weekly, make-ahead cooking and it elevates all vegetable/bean salad combinations. Love it.

Loved this recipe! served it with pork sausages and it was delicious. we added more balsamic vinegar to the sauce as we thought it was too oily for our likings.

Great mid week meal, missing something though think next time I'll add some bacon bits or Parma ham.

Just .. the ... best.. warm salad going.. yum, yum, yum. You couldn't find a better side for plain meat (BBQ or just grilled) and good on it's own hot or cold; great for veggies too. My carnivore husband tells me he would happily eat a plate full of this with Feta; big surprise as he doesn't do puy lentils or squash..Defo in the favorites box.
