Sprouted 3-bean salad

Sprouted Bean Salad

I bought these sprouted beans at Costco over Christmas break and haven’t used them yet so I decided to make the recipe on the back of the bag, with some alterations of course J

 Ingredients


1 cup dried beans
1 cup diced cucumber
½ cup diced red onion
1 cup feta
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 TBS lemon juice
3 TBS olive oil
½ tsp cumin
Salt


Directions
-       Cook beans with 3 cups water on medium heat until they boil. Turn to simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cover for 10 minutes. Drain.
-       Chop your veggies.
-       Let the beans cool and mix everything together.

Fiber, yum yum!

Review
Well it turned out okay. Cumin doesn’t have much zip to it so next time I would try different seasoning. Other than that I did enjoy it and it surprisingly passed the Ian test! It is packed full of protein and fiber so it's a great dish to take to work for lunch. It’s also great for a potluck, especially if you have veggie/vegan friends (just don’t add feta). I will continue to search for new recipes for these healthy sprouted beans!
