Green Goddess Sprout Salad
Did you know this? Sprouting may break down Lectins by 57% (But, Lectins are not such a bad thing afterall, don’t be scared of them). If you have gut issues that gives you digestive symptoms, you must fix your gut microbiome instead of being scared of legumes such as beans and lentils.
Sprouts often contain greater amounts of nutrients including amino acids. Legumes, grains, nuts and seeds are some of the healthiest food on the planet and sprouting makes them even more nutrient dense and bio available means your body is able to extract more nutrients from them. Cool, right?

To a large bowl, add sprouts, tomato, cucumber, spring onions and carrots. Keep it aside.
Let’s make the Green Dressing by adding to a high speed blender or a food processor, everything else in the ingredient list. Blend until smooth. Give a taste and adjust the lemon juice.
Pour the dressing on top of the salad. Mix well and serve within an hour of prep. Eat is as a side salad or a meal replacer. Its easy and very quick to make and tastes so refreshing.
Note:
- If you want to avoid the heat from the chili, skip it completely. But the freshness of the chili makes this salad so good.
- This salad may leave water if kept in the fridge for too long. Best to serve immediately.
- If you find the dressing to be too thick to blend, add a splash of water to help with the mixing.
- Use a potato peeler to peel of the carrot into thin ribbons. The leftover carrot which is hard to peel, can be chopped into fine cubes and added to the salad. Or you can add it to another recipe.
