Instructions

1. Remove the seeds from half the pomegranate and set aside. Toast the sesame seeds in a pan without fat and allow to cool.
2. In a salad bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, concentrated apple juice and the Ras el Hanout spice mixture to form a marinade. Finely chop the onion and add to the marinade. Remove the pulp from the avocado and cut into cubes. Add the lentil sprouts, pomegranate seeds and the avocado to the marinade. Chop the parsley and add to the salad together with the sesame seeds. Mix everything carefully so that the avocado doesn`t disintegrate too much. Season to taste with a little sea salt and cayenne pepper (I only use about 2 pinches).
3. Let the salad soak in the fridge a little (also works well overnight if you want to take it to work / university) and get it out of the fridge in good time before serving so that it is not so cold.
4. As a main meal, the salad is enough for 1 serving, as a side salad for 2-3 servings.
5. Annotation:
6. Lentil shoots taste pleasantly nutty and slightly sweet. They are very easy to pull yourself. To do this, soak the lentils for about 12 hours, then pour them off and let them germinate for about 3 days (on warm summer days, only 2 days may be sufficient). The lenses should be rinsed twice, better three times a day. They should be harvested before the sprouts develop their green leaves, otherwise the nutrients built up during the germination process will be used up by the sprouts themselves. Lentil sprouts can be consumed raw and do not have to be blanched.
