Frequently asked questions
- What are sprouted lentils and where do I buy them?
- Lentils that have begun to germinate, sold in the chilled section of health shops and larger supermarkets. They are high in protein and eaten without cooking.
- How long does the salad keep?
- Up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge, if you keep the dressing separate.
- Can I add more protein?
- The salad is already high in protein from the lentils, but hard boiled egg, tuna or feta all work well.
