I totally made it!

I totally made the Lentil Salad from Veganomicon! I used all four of the radishes (wow- were they ever sweet and good!) and left out the carrots and tomatoes (didn't have any). Actually, I didn't have balsamic so I subbed apple cider vinegar, didn't have red onion so subbed yellow. I also added a wee bit of sugar. Oh yeah, and I used brown lentils instead of French. And it turned out well, a nice change of pace. A great start to summer!
