Sprouted lentil and pear salad

SproutsWe soak our seeds (they should not be split at all) in a container (jar, mason jar, etc.) for 8-12 h, preferably overnight, discard the water, then germinate them in the same container with a small grid or similar for several days, depending on the type of seed. Rinse them from time to time.

Ingredients

Salad

• 2 cups sprouted lentils (see notes)
• 2 pears, diced
• 2 green onions, sliced into rings

Place all ingredients in a bowl.

Dressing

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 or 1 garlic clove (I prefer to use a little more than half)
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 pinch salt
• A little ground pepper

Preparation

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl or mini blender, and whisk until emulsified.
2. Add the dressing to the salad and mix well.
3. Leave to stand in the fridge for 30 minutes to ensure that the flavours are well integrated (if you're a little more patient).

Notes

Soak lentils for 8 to 15 hours. After 3-4 days of germination, 1 cup of lentils can yield around 2-4 cups, depending on the length of the shoots.
