Awesome 3 Bean Salad

This is a live food recipe. You'll feel great after eating it because it's packed with energy-giving enzymes. When foods are raw, uncooked, they contain enzymes to digest and assimilate them thoroughly. The result is a healthy you!

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

1. Rinse beans and cover with water. Allow to soak for 6 hours.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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!
