We propose an experimental scheme to detect unambiguously parity mixing of Cooper pairs in noncentrosymmetric superconductors, which utilizes crossed Andreev reflection processes between two oppositely spin-polarized normal-metal leads and a noncentrosymmetric superconductor. It is demonstrated that a nonlocal conductance exhibits a clear signature of parity breaking of Cooper pairs and, thus, can be a direct probe of the parity mixing.
