My sprouted lentil salad is as amazingly nutritionally powerful as my Forbidden Black Rice salad. You need to soak the sprouts just like the Forbidden Black Rice.
This superfood gives you protein and cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber, as well as about twice as much iron as other legumes. And lentils are higher in most B vitamins and folate than beans. Plus, U.S. Department of Agriculture rese...

archers discovered that the pigments in lentils acts like an antioxidant and helps protect against heart disease, cancer, and the aging process in general. Not too shabby for something the size of a pencil eraser.
This salad definitely needs be sprouting, but it's easy and delicious and a great combination of textures and flavors that you won't regret checking out.
Here's the quick on sprouting: it's taking a seed or bean to a germinated state through soaking. A germinated seed or bean doubles its nutritional profile because once the germination process commences, extra powerful enzymes within the seeds and beans are released. This is the really short version of what's going on during the sprouting process.
Now, I'll admit that I'm a fan of sprouting, but for this dish I use raw lentils because THEY TASTE GOOD and are CRUNCHY. Plus raw lentils soak up the flavors of the seasonings and the vegetables really nicely.
Please use caution when eating this salad. There's lots of raw going on, lots of fiber going on and lots of nutrition going on. You would be wise to have a small serving first and see how it all sits in your belly. You can also cook the lentils for fifteen to twenty minutes and drain thoroughly.......
You can use more than one type of lentil in this recipe and I encourage to add color to the dish. Just make sure that which ever you chose, select similarly sized organic lentils so they soak at the same rate.
