Lentil sprout salad
Description
The salad itself is quick to prepare, but to make it, sprout the lentils in advance. You can sprout them in various ways; I usually just spread them in one or two layers on a plate, pour a little water over them, and leave for about 12–15 hours. Also, to make the salad with sprouted lentils, we'll need tofu, although it can be substituted with brined cheese or feta.
