Chef Tatiana Iglesias’ Fresh Sprout & Herb Salad

Spring is the perfect time to embrace fresh, vibrant ingredients especially sprouts! I love incorporating homegrown veggies and herbs into my cooking, and one of my favorite things to do with my son is plant and harvest our own little garden. Watching our plants grow and then using them in the kitchen is such a rewarding experience!

 

One of my go-to spring recipes is a Fresh Sprout & Herb Salad light, nutrient-packed, and full of seasonal flavors. Here’s a simple way to enjoy it:

Ingredients
    • 2 cups mixed sprouts (alfalfa, pea shoots, or radish sprouts)
    • 1 cup baby arugula or spinach
    • ½ cup thinly sliced radishes
    • ¼ cup fresh mint and parsley, chopped
    • ¼ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
    • ¼ cup toasted sunflower seeds
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, toss together the sprouts, greens, radishes, herbs, and seeds.
  2. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Top with crumbled cheese if using.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh taste of spring.
