Sprout salad


While you probably can't tell, I'm trying to eat healthier. I got a big pack of sprouts from Wholefoods yesterday, and whipped up a quick dressing and had a delicious salad. A healthy one. If you want to be even healthier, use 1 T flaxseed oil in place of one of the tablespoons of olive oil.


Sprout salad

1 clove garlic, mashed
1 t mustard
1 t cider vinegar
1 t wine
3 T olive oil
salt and pepper
3 c various sprouts (lentil, sunflower, bean, etc)

Mix together the garlic, mustard, vinegar, and wine in a small bowl. Beat in the oil with a fork or small whisk, a little bit at a time until the dressing is smooth. Taste for salt and pepper, and pour over your sprouts and mix together.

  2. Mmmmm...I love sprouts. If you're mixing them for a salad and can find them, onion and broccoli sprouts add a huge ZING to sprout mixes.

  4. Sprouts are one of my favorites...I love their texture, especially in a big salad or on a sandwich. I haven't had them for so long. I don't know why - sometimes an item I love just falls off of my grocery list and then something reminds me to put it back on. The salad looks fabulous.
