I've never heard this saying, but another one which might suit this video: Jedes Böhnchen gibt ein Tönchen 📯
I use chickpeas and add olives without seeds! Delicious ❤
How does anyone not use a bunch of parsley in a week?
I love lentils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks nice, however, lentils aren't a complete protein and need to be combined with grains, nuts or seeds.
I’m sure this is good at room temp and the next day. Love French lentils. Thanks for the inspiration
I appreciate the encouragement to eat more plant-based meals. I’m not sure the judgmental tone about meat is helpful.
My daughter and her girlfriend went to see Aida just a few days ago. What a treat!!!
The way you talk to your olive oil is the same way I talk to one of your videos. You've changed my life.
rj 4 ever
I like cilantro instead of parsley. Have you tried that before? I need to make that salad. It looks delicious.
Yummy. I have made french lentil salad with red onion and some orange juice, olive oil and white wine vinegar, ground coriander and fresh mint.
This may not work if all you have is a fire escape and not too many windows, but an indoor herb garden is a way to have fresh parsley. I have large pots so that I don't use it all in one meal and there will always be some. I keep basil, sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley, cilantro.
I made this tonight and I love it! Adding it to my recipe book.
I’m going to make this salad. 🤗
I made this tonight using a bit of apricot jam in place of the flavored vinegar. This is definitely a winner that will be in my regular rotation. Thanks for the dinner idea, Rajiv!
I love meat but I enjoy lentils. Honestly I can’t imagine ppl choosing to abstain from meat, to plenty of us that’s crazy.
Rajiv, you are just adorable! I love your videos. Thank you!
Love lentils!! I make this salad all the time, my dressing is a little different though :)) So delicious and healthy!!
Thank you for mentioning our wonderful Apricot Balsamic can’t wait to try your salad!
Currently re watching the video! Planning on making it tonight. Can't wait. ❤
10/10, made this salad today, so happy
I wish you could know how much joy you create in my life. I will try a different dressing and maybe I will cherish one small thing, thanks to you
Why am I just now finding your channel?? You are a JOY, my dear! I just subscribed and I can't wait to watch more videos. I live in Tulsa, OK but I'm obsessed with NYC, have been fortunate enough to visit several times, so I'm excited that you live there and I love your cooking style. Can't wait to make this lentil salad, I think I'll have to make one alteration because I simply can't make a vinaigrette without adding a teaspoon or two of dijon mustard just cause I love it so much! Cheers!
Looks Delish !! I noticed in another video and wanted to ask would you say where your dish drainer came from? I do not have a dishwasher and your dish stand is very nice looking. Thank You so very much !
What a lovely person – nice to meet you!
Hi Rajiv long time no see!
You're such a delightful person. And very yourself. I like that so much. Maybe you could leave a note for the musician and say I love your music, maybe would could have coffee or tea or go for a walk sometime. You have a great singing voice.
@RajivSurendra
There is a unique pleasant energy that you have. You're approach to cooking is intriguing…I must say that I absolutely enjoyed watching this video. You're extremely interesting and make me feel like I'm actually present in your kitchen as you describe your neighbor practicing music 🎶 in the nearby apartment as you hum along. So cool 😎 I'm definitely subscribing today 🎉
Thanks for sharing 🌷😌
Hi Rajiv! Love your sweet face, beautiful smile and simple yet healthy recipes, thank you for sharing!❤ Also, love your copper cookware!👍😹😻
Just found you on my feed. I’m gonna make this lentil salad this weekend. It looks delicious. I love your kitchen and I don’t know if you’ve ever done a video or a tour of your New York apartment. I would love that.! your pot and pans are gorgeous. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
I watched you ironing napkins. What's the name of the iron that you use?
Yesss bring us all the lentil recipes
Lentils are such a great food and I am so pleased to have come across this recipe. Sounds so good!
That would be good with some Persian cukes too
This lentille salad was a staple at our house growing up. My mom would make it as a side dish regularlyI love it so much that i would usually eat almost all of it before it made it to the dining room. My parents are both hoteliers. The salade is a French national treasor they learned how to make it in their apprenticeship along many other delicious dishes. Food is a gift that heals and nurtures thank you for sharing your recipes with us.
you such a cutie lol
I totally get the obsession with good olive oil! I just returned from a wonderful vacation in Andalusia and although I shopped A LOT there, the purchase that makes me happiest is a bottle of locally produced EVOO 🙂
