Curried Lentil Salad

Source: The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon (Alive Books, 1999)

Ingredients

* 2 tsp of tamari (or Braggs Liquid Aminos)
* 1 tbsp of lemon juice
* 1 clove of garlic, crushed
* 1 tsp of curry powder (or to taste)
* 2 cups of sprouted lentils
* 1/2 cup of chopped onion

Method

1. Mix together the tamari, lemon juice, garlic and curry powder in a small bowl.
2. Combine the lentils and onion in a separate bowl and pour on the dressing. Mix well.

Serves 2-4

Sprouted lentils have a nice crunchy texture and are a good source of iron and vitamin C. I prefer to use sprouted green lentils when I make this recipe, but any kind of sprouted whole lentil can be used.

This is incredibly clean and fresh tasting, and is a great accompaniment to more earthy foods.
For a sweeter taste, replace the lime juice with orange juice.
