    Sorry, but YUCK! I love lentils and potatoes and cilantro. But this mixture didn't work for me. Another reviewer mentioned you need to like cilantro. I think this has a very "Indian" food flavor and you would have to like Indian food to like this meal. After all the show was all about Indian food. But sorry, I took just a couple of bites then threw it all out. Then washed the flavor out of my mouth. Just was not what I expected.

    I adore Rachael and have become a more knowledgeable and more adventurous cook from watching her shows. So when I saw this recipe, and the accompanying chicken dish, I thought I'd give Indian food a shot. Although I followed the recipe exactly, this dish was "truly nasty," as another reviewer stated. What you get when you toss the lentils, potatoes and peas with the cilantro/mint mixture is a big green mess, which is completely unappetizing. To add insult to injury, there wasn't even any discernible flavor either, even though I desperately tried to salvage the dish by adding lime zest and juice. After one bite, my husband begged me to throw it out, which I did. P.S. The tandoori-style chicken wasn't much better.

    Made this for the first time today, and my husband and I were pleasantly surprised: it's filling, tasty, and cruelty-free.

    Will definitely make this again!!

    After watching Rachel's show I was excited to try the almost tandori chicken w/ this salad. I have to say, while this was interesting, it was also bland bland bland. I tried to get some brightness with zest from a lime, but really the whole salad just laid there like a hot mess. I did salvage it a little, taking the left ober chicken ,gringind it up, and mixing salad w/ the chicken to make an empanada like stuffing. Then paired it with a curry dipping sauce for dinner the following night.

    I came here looking to see if anyone had posted where the spinach goes; discovered it goes in the dressing so that you have dressing and not cilantro soup.

    Agree with the commenters who noted the blandness; it definitely needs spice. Hot sauce helps, but this is not one of Rach's best.

    Even with increasing the cilantro, mint, and garlic, I thought this dish was dull. There are much better lentil salad recipes out there. Leaving the peppers and onion raw might have helped, but not much.

    Saw this episode and couldn't wait to print out recipes! We love all the flavors involved.
    My printer didn't print last two paragraphs of recipe so I winged it. Didn't turn out very well since I didn't make dressing. Will make the recipe again but still wonder...
    Where does the spinach fit in? In the "pesto", with the sauted veges?
    Recipe mentions "peppers" what other pepper?
    Perhaps better editing before posting?

    Here were my problems. I did not put enough water in with the lentils and so I added more broth to cook the potatoes. So ensure you start of with lots of water. I do not think this impacted overall quality but just FYI. Then my spinach, mint, parsley (I do not like cilantro dressing was not a paste. I guess I added too much broth. So the dressing is a bit loose which is not great but certainly edible. I think Brandy's suggestion to drop the dressing is a good one. I added lots of mint and you can not really taste it in the salad. I think adding chopped mint later would have a better effect. The veggies, lentils, potatoes, cumin salt and pepper would make a great salad and make the dish a super inexpensive.
