Spring Sprout Salad

Ingredients

1 C Mung bean sprouts

1 C alfalfa sprouts

2 C baby spinach

2 green onions, chopped

1/2 C slivered almonds

1/2 C dried cherries or craisins

Fresh dill

1 sliced avocado

1 can Mandarin oranges (optional)

1/2 C mayonnaise

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp honey

A dash of lemon juice

Directions

To make the salad, place the baby spinach at the bottom of the plate or bowl, and then add the sprouts. Spread them out so they’re not all clumped together. Sprinkle the top with the chopped green onions, the almonds, craisins, dill, avocado, and Mandarins if you’re using them.

To make the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, honey and lemon juice and mix well. Drizzle over the salad to serve.

Cook’s tip: if you’re not crazy about the flavor of mayonnaise, you can reduce the amount you use by a couple of tablespoons. For a healthier and sweeter choice, you can substitute plain white yogurt for the mayo.
