Sprouted Green Lentils

Sprouted Green Lentils are the most unsuspectingly delicious addition to your salad! Seriously! 

Once these little beans are soaked and sprouted their nutritional value is doubled and they are soft enough to just pop into your mouth and eat!

If you're looking for a good way to spruce up your salad and add protein, I guarantee, you will enjoy this very satisfying twist!

First soak your Green Lentils!


1 cup Green Lentils to 3 cups water

8 hours later...


They should at least double in size!

Then drain water and rinse. They need to be sprouted. Either poke holes in the lid of your mason jar to allow for oxygen or just cover in cheese cloth and lay on its side.


12-24 hours later...


You should be able to see the little sprout tails growing. This means your lentils are alive and ready to offer you a huge nutritional punch!

Every cup has 7 grams of Protein. Loaded with Omega 3s and 6s, Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium!

Can't go wrong!


Spinach
Arugula
Red Pepper
Heirloom Tomato
Cucumber
Alfalfa Sprouts
1/2 cup Sprouted Green Lentils

For my dressing:
1/2 Lemon Squeezed
1 Tbsp Raw Tahini
1Tbsp Coconut Aminos

Enjoy!
