Let me just say that this salad is so good! It is not your usual salad of lettuce but it is something new, delicious and worth trying! It is so cheap and easy to make because 1. all the ingredients are vegetables that cost around 99 cents, and 2. you don't actually have to cook any of them! All the veggies are raw, excluding the steamed lentils but those are a legume so they don't count ;)

I saw a picture of this salad on Pinterest ( I know, I'm obsessed) but it was in french so I couldn't read or understand the recipe. But I caught the gist of it and went with it! And it turned out great! The lentils are the only part to this salad that are not raw,but i'm okay with that! You can totally make your own sprouted lentils if you so choose...but that was too much work for me ha ha.

Ingredients
(feeds two)
2 organic large carrots
2 zucchini squash
1 cup sunflower sprouts (divided) 

1 bunch green onions
1 cup lentils (steamed or sprouted, divided)
drizzle of white truffle oil


Preparation 

Peel outside layer of carrots first then being peeling carrots to achieve the "ribbon" shape, or the thick cut pasta shape. Try and keep the ribbons thin because once they get too thick it become too crunchy and awkward to eat. Cut off ends of zucchini and grate the zucchini over the carrot ribbons. Take 1/2 cup sprouts and 1/2 of the lentils and just put them on each salad. And lastly sprinkle with green onions and drizzle with the truffle oil! 


Enjoy!
