Ingredients:
Directions:
- Place green lentils in a container of water, making sure at least half of the container is filled with lentils and the other is half filled with water.
- Soak overnight.
- Drain the water from lentils (the lentils should have doubled in size and become crunchy); put in a cool dry place for one day (this allows the lentils to start growing and sprout).
- Place sprouted lentils, cucumbers, bell peppers, mint, and cilantro into a mixing bowl; add olive oil; mix well.
- Squeeze lemons over salad and mix again.
Makes 7 to 10 servings.
