Lentil Sprouts Salad with Bok Choy and Bell Peppers

I don't do it as often as I'd like to - sprouting the lentils and beans, I mean. But, every once in a while, when I get a batch sprouted and ready, it is a giddying feeling. Yeah, it doesn't take much to make me giddy with excitement.

One part of it formed the base of a cobb or gado-gado style salad -- sauteed sprouts with just a casual arrangement of available veggies, with an eye to color, topped with a simple vinaigrette.

Another part of it went into adding the crunch in a standard pasta salad. And yet another portion was sauteed with greens - chard, kale, spinach - spiced and served warm with rice.
