This was my first experience with sprouting!  I made a salad recipe from Dr. Perricone’s book, Forever Young.  I germinated and sprouted my white beans instead of buying it in a can and losing all that nutrition.  The little white beans take on a life of their own and I felt a little guilty eating those cute little things.

White bean and asparagus salad w/watercress

1 tsp Dijon mustard

sea salt and ground pepper to taste

2 cups watercress, trimmed.

steam 1″ cut asparagus for 2-3 minutes

chop and combine everything else except watercress

line bowl with watercress and top with bean mixture

Back to the beans!

Germinate:  Rinse and soak the beans in a glass bowl covered with (lol..yes…clean pantyhose cut up) in water that has been purified for 8 hours.  Rinse and drain.
