Oh you're the best, Norma! Thanks a bunch 🤗✨

Also added seeds that I’d sprouted which I very much recommend.

Fantastically easy recipe! The dressing is absolutely delicious and makes this dish. I omitted the olives and it was still filling.

Super easy and yummy! I made this so many times, works also with other vegetables great I had laying around!

Love this recipe!!!!!!

This was great! Full of flavor and surprisingly easy to make!

This was delicious and simple! Next time I’ll add some feta!

I was about to make this for lunch and found out I ran out of couscous. I cooked some quiona and used that instead and it works perfectly fine as a substitution. And the salad is delicious! I will definitely have to make this more often.

Yayy so happy to hear the jar was enjoyed with quinoa, Katarina!

Super quick and super tasty. Highly recommend for a lunch time take to work!

Very tasty! I had it for lunch today, plus I prepped 3 jars for the week. I swapped red bell pepper for yellow one, kalamata olives for black ones, and red wine vinegar for apple cider one. That's just what I had on hand today.

This sounds incredible, Martunia! So glad that the salad in a jar was enjoyed 🤗

Lovely refreshing salad.
I used whole grain quinoa, which worked really well. Dressing brought it all together nicely.
Will definitely do again

A lovely idea, Dicey, thank you for the heartwarming review! :)

Super easy, fresh amazing for a summer lunch. Did this one for Christmas (summer in Brazil) and everyone loved it !

This was BOMB!!! Super quick and flavorful. You are a genius Sadia!

Super yummy! But the text does not add up with the measurements. When upping portions it still says 5 tablespoons of dressing. But nevertheless very good!!

Hey Lisa, so glad the recipe was enjoyed! And thanks for the heads up! We've updated the directions so it works with scaling 😊

Thanks a million 💓

Delicious! I bet it would be good with farro in place of couscous too.

Dear PUL Team,
although I‘m not usually very crazy about salads, I‘m crazy about this one. I added a few drops of sweetener to the dressing to soften the sourness and added dill instead of basil because I didn’t have it at home. The salad is super easy and quick to make and sooo delicious. Can’t wait to try out other salad recipes.

Woohoo! We're so thrilled the salad in a jar recipe is being enjoyed, Susi, it means so much 🤩

I don’t know if I did something wrong, but I made this for 6 people and the salad was swimming in dressing and it’s way too sour for my taste I’m afraid. I wish there was something sweet to balance out the vinegar, lemon and Dijon mustard.

Hey Andreea, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe. After reading your comment we immediately re-visited the dressing for this recipe and we've since made a few adjustments, including adding a sweeter to balance the sour ingredients and decreasing the overall amount of dressing. Thanks so much for helping us improve what we do, and we hope you enjoy it if you decide to give it another go 🙏

Delicious! The perfect salad for a hot, summer day! I served this on top of some leftover rocket which added a nice nutty flavour!

Very refreshing! I do wish the recipe added time and instructions for cooking the lentils. I know it states to start with pre cooked lentils, but that’s not an accurate reflection of the recipe for me. Maybe for others 🤗 thank you

Hey Sydney, thanks so much for sharing the feedback 🤗 sometimes canned lentils are more accessible (which are cooked) but we'll note this down to help us improve and grow!

I made this for my husband to bring with him for lunch and it worked out just great. We both thought this was a yummy lunch option.

Delicious, light but filling!

It’s really tasty and so simple. As a student it’s perfect

So simple and easy to prepare. Very tasty 😋
