    I love coming to your site and seeing that big banner image across the top. The photos are always great and this one is no exception. My family and kids have all been loving lentils lately! I will definitely have to make this for them this week. How can you go wrong with 25 minutes!

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Thank you Cooking with Carbs for your kind compliment. I do love lentils all year long. Perfect warm and cold too.
      Love to have your feedback when you make it.
      Bon Appetit!

    Oh, this salad recipe is amazing! I loved the combination of flavors with the sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and fresh herbs, and the lentils made it much more filling. I had it for lunch but I can definitely see myself making it for dinner with a side of roasted veggies.

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      One of my favorite all year as it is savory, healthy, and filling. Perfect side for fish, at least that is one of the ways I enjoy preparing it.
      Enjoy!

    This sounds wonderful. I have puy lentils in the cupboard but I’ve not tried sun dried tomatoes that aren’t in oil. This will be a new cooking adventure for me. Thank you… I love new things 🙂

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Then you will love this recipe, Julia. Easy, delicious and you can store for a couple of days if you have left over of course.
      Enjoy!

    This a super healthy salad I make often. I just have to deal with a fussy eater who won’t touch tomatoes in any form apart from ketchup, but I still make sure to pack it with good stuff. I’m saving the dried tomatoes for my plate:) Beautiful, healthy, and so easy to make recipe!

    This is an excellent dish, and I really admire the balance of the acidity and oil, just perfect. I used sun-dried tomatoes in oil, I just poured off the oil from the jar before the soaking stage. I also added them rather sooner to the lentils. The thin slicing and marinading of the red onion works very well. I used black beluga lentils as they come up cheaper in London’s Turkish shops than actual puy lentils. Vital to have the lentils al dente. I kept resetting the timer to make sure of this, on 3min intervals once they were near done. I’ll be making this again. Oh, and I chopped the sundried tomatoes, I think they need distributing, not encountering in large slabs. Thanks for this recipe.

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Thank you for the tips about the lentils. I have a large number of readers from the UK and EU and I am sure they appreciate your input.
      Thank you for stopping on my corner of the net, and taking the time to comment on the recipe.
      Enjoy!
