SPROUTED LENTIL SALAD
This sprouted lentil salad is a bit like a pasta salad in the way it comes together. Sprouted lentils are not only great health food, but perhaps the ultimate way to Eat Well and Spend Less.

Steps:
- Toss together and serve. Add additional dressing if necessary after the salad spends time in the refrigerator. Store in the fridge; the salad is better after 6-12 hours, but then the quality worsens each day, so it's definitely best served fresh. Don't try to keep longer than 2-3 days once the dressing has been added.
LENTIL SPROUT SPREAD
A great way to use lentil sprouts! UPDATE: Due to a review, I have tweaked this a little. The lemon juice makes a difference.

Steps:
- Sprout the 1/2 cup lentils for 2 days(See my recipe).
- Sprout the sesame seeds for 2 days, following same method(or used unsprouted).
- Place the lentils and sesame seeds in a food processor.
- Add the avocado, lemon and salt to taste.
- Add herbs according to what you like and process until smooth. I used cilantro and parsley with good results(about 1/4 cup each).

SAVORY SPROUTED LENTIL & NUT SPREAD
This is a very healthy, live food recipe with nut protein, EFAs and veggies. Use as a sandwich spread or thin it out slightly to make it a dip. As a filling you can roll up in lettuce leaves or spread into celery sticks. The recipe originates from Alive Magazine. It made a huge amount so I cut the recipe in half. As this is "live" food it does not keep, you need to eat within 24 hours or it begins to ferment. Perfect time to pull out your seed sprouter and make your own lentil or other sprouts - or you can usually buy a variety of sprouts in your local produce store. A food processor is the best tool for this, in order to get a true pate consistency. I have made it in my blender, which worked but I had to add some water to help things along so it was more like a hummus consistency. I am also editing to include about a tsp of tamari/soy/braggs as an option. I found it needed it an extra boost of seasoning.

Steps:
- Grind up the cashews until they're quite fine, I find my 'magic bullet' works really well for this small amount, but then I have to transfer to a food processor to get it to a pate consistency.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients, scraping down the sides a few times. Adjust seasoning to your taste, you may want to add a little extra miso for more saltiness or use the optional tamari/Braggs.
- Refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
RED LENTIL HUMMUS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUT HASH
This spicy red lentil hummus is a new take on the classic dip. The Brussels sprout topping adds a special touch, but you can serve it without the topping, too. -Carolyn Manning, Seattle, Washington
