Does anyone have a recipie on how to make a lentil loaf & vegan potato salad.

I was at this one vegan restaurant, which I sometimes frequent, and thier lentil burrito and potato salad are absolutely delicious. I have some idea as to what ingredients are used besides the obvious, potatoes and lentils of course. I could taste a hint of perhaps curry powder in the potato salad. But as for the lentil loaf I know it takes onions and red pepper, but how to make a 'loaf' I have no clue.

I guess it's true what an ex-vegan told me "vegans can taste things better than non-vegans" Non-vegans are so used to all types of chemicals and preservatives in their foods that they become accostomed to it.

I make potato salad two ways. The first is, I get some plain soy yogurt and blend it up in the food processor with some fresh mint, some fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Then I pour it over the cooked, cubed potatoes (usually I cube them, then cook them till just tender) and still gently to combine, then chill till required.
The other way is I make a dressing from oil, vinegar (equal parts), prepared mustard (any kind, eg wholegrain is good), salt and pepper, then stir this into the potatoes with chopped spring onions. You can also add chopped chives to both these recipes.
Hope you enjoy them.
