Lemony Lentil Salad with Salmon

Absolutely love this salad! Used a pressure cooker to prepare lentils (dried). Cooking for one often means trying to cut a recipe in half to cut down on repeat meals-this one was easy to do. I did add grated carrot, abundance of them from farmers market, and served it over a bed of massaged kale(with the same dressing). Will happily repeat this recipe often.

This wasn't bad. It's more of a feelgood salad, since it contains all the good stuff you should be eating. Will eat again.

Looks messy but tasty. Dressing gets lost when added the night before. I made this dish the night before to have for lunch the next day, and added the dressing at that time. However, I think the lentils soaked it all up because I could not taste it at all (and it had plenty of flavor when I tasted it after mixing last night). Next time I make this I will add dressing right before eating.

Delicious!We were in the mood for a warm meal, so we modified this meal a little. Instead of canned salmon, we grilled salmon fillets, sauteed the onion and red bell pepper, and heated the lentils. I mixed about 2/3 the dressing with the warm lentil/onion/bell pepper mixture (I cut back a little on the oil), and used that as a bed for the grilled salmon. I drizzled the remaining dressing over the salmon and topped with the chopped cucumber. So good!!Pros: flavorful

Very filling, tasty and economical. I had my doubts about this dish because it looked so dark and bland, but I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor - don't skimp on the lemon juice. Flavor-wise, it stands on its own if you leave out the salmon and bell pepper, but do not omit the lemons, cucumber or dill. You could even mix up the red pepper and yellow pepper if you like for color appeal. Pros: Delicious and nutrient-dense. Cons: Important to add color to this dish for visual appeal.

Does not work with canned salmon... rather bland. I would try it again with grilled salmon but I can't usually afford salmon filets.

This was a great simple recipe, I grilled fresh salmon because I hate canned. I also added a spicy/sweet mustard in addition to the Dijon, gave it a nice kick.
