Lentil Salad

Serves 4

1 cup raw germinated lentils (soaked for 8-12 hours)

1 chopped white onion

1 tomato, chopped

1 cucumber, chopped

2 tablespoons Udo's Choice oil (this is an oil with lots of EFAs. If

you can't find it, substitute another oil of your choice, such as flax

oil or more olive oil. I just leave the Udo's Choice oil out when I

make this)

2 tablespoons cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar (optional)

Sea salt, to taste (I use 1 teaspoon)

¼ lemon (optional)

Mix the germinated lentils, onion, optional tomato, and cucumber in a

medium bowl. Pour the oils and vinegar over the lentil salad and toss

well. Season with sea salt and a squeeze of lemon. Toss again. Let sit

for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator to absorb the nice onion flavor.

Hi Sparrow:

You put the lentils in the salad after you soak them? Not after you sprout

them??

I do exactly the same thing but I just add my sprouts. And I never heard of

UDO'S CHOICE OIL.

I must look into this. Sounds fascinating.

thanks much

Yes, they are only germinated, not sprouted. So you soak them 8-12

hours, drain and rinse them, and then mix upt he salad right then. It

probably wouldn't hurt the salad if you sprouted them a little bit

(like 1/4 inch tails) but the salad is great with the lentils just

germinated.

I never heard of it before checking Alt's book out from the library,

either. They don't have it at any of my stores. I did find the website

online if you're interested in knowing more about the oil:
