In the end, I got about 12 cups of sprouts from my 1\/4 salad mix seeds.<\/p>\n

A nice dressing for these sprouts is:<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup minced onion (I used scallion, from my CSA box)
\n1\/2 cup tomatoes, seeded and diced (I used a late harvest heirloom tomato)
\n2 tablespoons chopped fresh herb (I used basil, but you could use almost any)
\nJuice of 1\/2 lemon
\n2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar (rice wine vinegar would be nice too I think, or mirin. \u00c2\u00a0A more mild vinegar anyway; I think cider or balsamic would overwhelm the delicate sprout flavor)
\n1\/3 cup olive oil
\nSalt and freshly ground pepper to taste<\/p>\n

I whisked all the liquids together, added the seasonings, whisked again, then mixed in the onion and tomatoes. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t like plain sprout salad, but I put my dressed sprouts on a bed of other greens (arugula is a good with my seed mix, which has arugula sprouts, but whatever works). \u00c2\u00a0I had some more avocado and added a few slices. \u00c2\u00a0Nice, light, healthy and tasty salad.<\/p>\n

FYI, the PeakFresh bag my sprouts are in is awesome. \u00c2\u00a0I got mine from sproutpeople<\/a> although I’m sure there are other sources, and likely less expensive. \u00c2\u00a0I’ve been using them about a month now. \u00c2\u00a0The produce in my CSA box comes loose, and I bag it up in these, and I’ve been very impressed with the longevity of the produce it provides. They somehow move the ethylene gas out of the bag slowing down the ripening (aging) process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
