Sprouted Lentil Salad with Fresh Mint and Goat Cheese

This salad is so fresh and tasty. I used my apple mint, but you can use any fresh herb you like. You can also switch out the cheese to feta or … anything you want. Sprouts and cheap way to get some greens in during the winter and many people find them easier to digest.

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 — 2 cups sprouted lentils (see NOTE *)

• 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (see NOTE **)

• 1/2 coloured bell pepper, diced

• 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

• 5 — 8 fresh mint leaves, roughly shredded

• 1 — 2 tbsp. fresh Chevré goat cheese

• salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients and toss

NOTES

* Sprouting lentils is super easy and they are ready in about 3 days. You can steam them if you want, but they are very good raw, reminiscent of fresh snap peas.

** I use apple cider vinegar in this recipe because most locations have apple trees for making vinegar, but red wine vinegar and also balsamic work well.
