Martina's Sporty Sprouting Salad
The lentils and barley can be cooked or soaked overnight, depending on preference and time (as the soaking takes at least 4 hours). I prefer to soak them overnight and then just let the lentils sprout a bit the next day.
In a bowl, combine barley, lentils and scallions; fold in raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
Optional: To add a festive flare to your salad, sprinkle 1/3 cup walnuts and 1/3 cup cranberries. This healthy and hearty salad will make a great addition to any holiday buffet table.
