Three Bean Salad

I used mung beans, adzuki beans, and green lentils, but I suppose many other beans, pulses, and legumes could work.

Ingredients


1 cup each uncooked mung beans, adzuki beans, and green lentils
2 tomatoes, diced
1/2 large cucumber, diced
1/4 red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, diced
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
2 tbsp each extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice
1 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp ground cumin


Directions


Boil the beans until tender. The beans I used were sprouted and packaged together, and it only took about 10 mins. I suspect it will take longer if you didn't use this particular package. Drain the beans. Add the rest of the ingredients and gently stir to combine. Pretty easy. Mint can be used in place of parsley.


Serve cold. Makes for a good lunch or side dish. And plenty of protein if you're trying to get your pump on.
