A delicious & nutritious salad creation I made last week in Nicaragua:
High in iron, high in protein, high in enzymes, high in fiber….light, refreshing, and satisfying. The curry flavour mixed with the apple is really yummy! Perfect for summer, perfect for high energy levels, and perfect for weight loss.
Sprouting lentils will take the same time as sprouting mung beans.
To learn more about the benefits of sprouting and how to do it, check out my previous post Sprouting For Beginners.
GLO SUMMER SPROUTED LENTIL CURRY SALAD:
Salad:
2 or more cups sprouted lentils
1-2 stalks chopped celery
A couple chopped radish
1 chopped red onion
1-2 grated carrots
Chopped onion
1-2 grated Red Delicious apples
Handful chopped parsley (optional)
Dressing:
(Depends on how much you are making and your taste preference…..I usually do a 3:1 ratio olive oil to lemon juice)
Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh lemon OR lime juice
Fresh, chopped garlic
About 1 tsp curry powder
Sea salt to taste
Ready to eat right away, but I think it tastes best when you chill it for a few hours.
If you don’t have time to sprout, you can cook the lentils (about 20 min) OR you can use canned lentils, but make sure to rinse them very well to get the sodium and preservatives off of them.
Enjoy!
