If Red Lentils are good for soups, Brown Lentils are good for salads. By using sprouted Brown Lentils you could create a very exquisite one.

Sprouted Brown Lentils can be stored in a refrigerator very well, for a week if needed. To sprout lentils you just need to keep them wet for a few days at the room temperature. Initially soak the lentils in the water overnight, then transfer into the shallow container to make a layer up to 1 cm then regularly rinse the lentils or spray them with water.

Once you are happy with what is achieved, pack the sprouts into a tight container and store in a refrigerator. From 1 cup of dry Brown Lentils you will get 2 cups of sprouts.
