Rated 2 out of 5 by scottjmower from Will try again with a different flavor combination. Will try again with a different flavor combination. The lentil, orzo and veggies are a great combination and have a wonderful consistency, but the salad was bland - even with the mustard and Italian dressing. It definitely needs a spice boost, but I'm not sure what.
