    So what are reg lentils? I assumed red? Red and green lentils require different cook times. You could have mushy and u dercooked if they are cooked together. The idea is good, the salad needs some seasoning. I did add seasonings to compliment the salad. I found it an acceptable meal salad that suppl - 8/8/18
