I never though a raw lentil could taste so good. Well, not really raw 🙂 I tried the recipe. And it now our Family new favorite. Thank you for sharing it!
I never thought a raw lentil can be so tasty. Well, not raw completely, but still. I tried the recipe, and now it is my Family’ s new favorite. It will be definitely one of my treats during the upcoming Fall Cleansing 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
