I used bleu cheese which kind of melted into the dish making it a bit creamy, reminiscent of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/lentil-salad-and-potato-salad\/\">lentil and yogurt salad I&#8217;ve made before<\/a>. Since our CSA keeps giving us basil, despite there being few known uses for the herb, I put a handful of torn basil in this salad instead of the fresh herbs called for in the recipe (also making it similar to the lentil and yogurt salad).<\/p>\n<p>Oh and also, I threw some bacon crumbs on top and served with a soft boiled egg.<\/p>\n<p>It is a time-consuming, multi-layered dish. Good but maybe not worth the work, at least as I made it.
