Ingredients
½ C. black eyed peas
½ C. garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
¼ C. lentil beans
3 ripe mangoes or papayas, diced
2 limes or lemons, juiced
1 med. purple or Maui onion, diced
2 Tbsp. Ortega green chilies, diced
¼ C. fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ C. fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. chili powder
Instructions
Rinse beans and cover with water. Allow to soak for 6 hours.
Pour off water and allow to sprout for 24 hours before you use them in the recipe. Every 8 hours the sprouts need to be rinsed. Just cover with water and pour it off. You'll do this 3 times before you use them.
When ready to make the salad, mix the second half of the ingredients together. I like to put half of this recipe in a blender for about 30 seconds and then add it back to the unblended ingredients. This spreads the flavor more evenly.
Now add the sprouted beans. Allow to marinate for about 1 hour in the fridge. It's great served with brown rice and it's always the favorite snack at the potluck!
