Directions
My All-Time Favourite Nutritious Veggie Lentil Salad,As of date(14th Dec’02), this is my FAVOURITE salad. Reasons being: 1) Its so simple and easy to make, even a 10 year old could do it. 2) It’s easy on the budget. 3) All the ingredients are always available, year round, plus, always ready on hand. 4) It does not require even a wee bit of salt; it’s delicious as it is and salt is not missed at all. 5) Most importantly, from the health point of view, this salad is very nutritious and healthy to eat. When mixed with Saffron rice(recipe number 47592 by Sue L), it becomes a wonderful crunchy-munchy side dish, all by itself. I am head over heels crazy about this salad and I can eat this everyday, no fuss whatsoever:) I think this salad is just G-R-E-A-T!,This was not the success I was hoping it would be. I could already see by gathering the ingredients together before starting to cook that amount of lentils called for in the recipe was not going to be enough for the 6 servings stated. Moreover, the proportion of mustard seeds to lentils was too high. As is, the recipe is spicy, due to the chilies, but bland, there is no salt and pepper and no other spices to add flavor. In the end I added a curried salad dressing, but it still barely touched at my Indian dinner.,This was pretty good, and like you said, you don’t miss the salt! I didn’t change anything int he recipe, and had this with chappatis for lunch, although I think it might taste better with curd rice. Thanks Charishma!
