NOTE: Mung beans can vary by brand. It is a good idea to keep an eye on the cooking, adding more liquid if needed, until lentils are soft and cooked. You do not want the dish to be soupy when transferring to the casserole dish.
Her vision for Spring Lakes Farm has always been two-fold – one, to supply affordable organic produce and other gut-lovin’ products at farmer’s markets and two, to open the farmgate to host women’s retreats, to educate on nourishment and simplicity, plus provide valuable connection. Anika’s greatest gift is teaching women how to make food choices that nourish, heal and bring joy, without spending loads of time in the kitchen, without counting anything, and without restrictions. She deeply believes that being healthy and nourished does not have to be hard. In fact, it should be easy. We just have to slow down enough to listen to our body’s cues and to trust ourselves to interpret what we hear and feel.
In a small bowl/jug mix all the dressing ingredients together.
