Brown Rice Salad with Crunchy Sprouts and Seeds

['1 cup (packed) chopped fresh chives', '1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil', '2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice', '1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more', '1 1/2 cups mixed dried sprouted legumes (such as mung beans and lentils)', '1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, lightly squeezed to remove liquid', '1/2 cup cooked brown rice', '2 scallions, thinly sliced', '1/3 cup toasted salted sunflower seeds', '1/3 cup toasted salted shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)', '1/3 cup coarsely chopped roasted unsalted almonds', 'Freshly ground black pepper', 'Ingredient info: Look for dried sprouted legumes at natural foods stores', 'truroots.com', 'and some supermarkets.']

Purée chives, oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth. Strain chive vinaigrette through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl.
Cook dried sprouted legumes in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Cover pot; remove from heat. Let stand for 3 minutes; drain. Rinse legumes under cold water to cool; drain. Transfer to a large bowl. DO AHEAD: Vinaigrette and legumes can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill.
Add zucchini, rice, scallions, seeds, nuts, and chive vinaigrette to bowl with legumes; toss to combine. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.
