# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You will feel remarkably light and energized after eating this, like your body just got exactly what it needed
  • The crunch of three different sprouts creates this incredible texture that makes every bite exciting
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes but looks like something from an expensive restaurant
02 -
  • Sprouts continue growing after you harvest them, so use them the same day you buy them for the best texture and flavor
  • The dressing will make the sprouts wilt if it sits too long, so never dress this salad ahead of time
  • Drying the sprouts thoroughly after rinsing is the difference between a salad that sings and one that tastes watery
03 -
  • Buy sprouts from the refrigerated section and use them within two days for the crunchiest texture
  • Let your dressing come to room temperature before tossing so it coats everything evenly
  • Use your hands to toss the salad gently so you don't bruise the delicate sprouts
