# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get three different sprouts delivering a complete protein package without any cooking
  • The dressing hits perfect notes of bright citrus and subtle sweetness that makes vegetables sing
02 -
  • Sprouts release water as they sit, so dress this salad right before serving to keep it crisp
  • The vegetables will continue to marinate in the dressing, becoming more flavorful but softer over time
03 -
  • Buy sprouts that look fresh and dry, avoiding any that look slimy or smell off
  • Store leftover sprouts in a paper towel-lined container in the fridge to extend their life by days
