A simple sprout salad. The perfect side dish!
Put all the ingredients in large bowl and mix it around a bit.
Add some salt and black pepper. Give it another mix.
Add some splashes of vinegar. Be careful to not add to much.
I have never liked sprouts, but when I read about their nutritional value and many benefits, I wanted to learn to eat them. I also love the thought of growing my food. I set out on a quest to make a sprout salad that I would enjoy eating, and I finally succeeded.
The key to the whole thing was to mix different sprouts and then add some arugula, spices and sauerkraut. Sauerkraut was yet another thing that I had not tried before but again, the many benefits made me want to try. I make my saurkraut, but it is possible to buy ready-made. If you do, make sure you get hold of a fermented one.
When setting the difficulty level of the recipe, I found it hard to decide if this was a beginner or intermediate recipe. I settled on a beginner's level because it's super easy to make. If you haven't gotten to a place where you have a small sprout factory in you kitchen or sauerkraut fermenting in a dark corner of you home, don't worry about it. Get it from the store. Give it a taste and see what you think.
