By Mahalia Freed, ND
4 –6 days in advance:
In a wide mouth 1 L mason jar, soak 1/2 cup of lentils over night or for 8 hours. Drain, secure mesh over top of jar, and invert on counter. Rinse sprouts twice a day. Harvest in 3-4 days, when sprouts are at desired length.
Day of:
1 red pepper, chopped or diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
1 large or 2 small carrots, grated
1/4 cup dulse (seaweed) torn or cut into small pieces
juice of 1 lemon
Bragg’s liquid aminos*
Place all solid ingredients with lentil sprouts in a bowl. Add lemon juice, and Bragg’s liquid aminos to taste. Add good olive oil if you like. Toss, enjoy. This salad gets better as it marinates, so don't worry about dressing before taking to a party to impress your friends. Dress it, take it. They will be impressed!
* If sensitive to soy , subsitute sea salt for the Bragg’s
