Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 For a change, try the tiny black lentils that can be found in an Indian store or at Trader Joes. Add some quinoa for another surprise! diana ============================= Raw Lentil Salad Half a large jar Green lentils, sprouted 2 days1 large handful Parsley, chopped1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped1/8 Onion choppedChives or a little green onion, chopped1 1/2 Tomatos, choppedAbout quarter cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil2 - 3 cloves garlic (or if you like garlic, add more)Juice of 1/2 lemonApple Cider Vinegar to tasteCouple basil leaves or sprig of dill (optional)Kelp powder (optional)Celtic Sea SaltPepperPinch ground ginger (optional)Pinch cayenne pepper (optional) (confession... I stole this recipe from a pre-made cooked lentil salad at People's Market, but converted it to raw and expanded on it with the kelp powder, ginger, basil leaves, chives, etc.) Directions: Put sprouted lentils in a big bowlPut red pepper and onion in food chopper, chop until pieces are shredded but not blended and add to lentils. NOTE: the red pepper makes it sweet so you can add more later if it's too tartPut tomatoes in food chopper, chop until small pieces but not totally liquid, then add to liquid.Put parsley, garlic cloves, juice of half lemon, olive oil, dill, basil, chives, kelp, pepper, salt, in food chopper, chop until fine, then put into the salad.I added the apple cider vinegar seperately because you will want to try only a little bit mixed with everything before you add more. Then add extra salt if you want. Mix all ingredients and let sit for a while to marinate, or just eat it like that! Don't push the river. Do your best, be well, be happy, be grateful!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 That sounds pretty good. Have you ever tried sprouted raw wild rice? I heard this was sweet-tasting....

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I make sprouted wild rice fairly regularly, and I love it! No cooking required - it's a nice crunchy addition to the top of a salad instead of croutons. I even took that to a family get together and everyone loved it! And I've got a family that's into the whole Standard American Diet. I didn't tell them until afterwards that it was healthy! LOL!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hi Lane, Well, it doesn't really get soft, but you won't break your teeth on it either. I soak for 24 hrs and sprout for 24 hrs. I've done it for less, but this is just really easy for me to remember! LOL!! :)Kelli goldenpoems [goldenpoems] Wednesday, December 22, 2004 2:58 PMherbal remedies Subject: RE: Herbal Remedies - Re: Lentil salad variation Hi kelli, How long do you soak & sprout this to get it soft?
