I liked this... the mustard was nicely balanced out by the herbs and wine vinegar.. I made this for lunch for myself and I found myself picking them out of the bowl before the photo was made. DH tried some too, but having had some stiff competition with other Zaar sprout recipes lately, he declared what "while these were fine,they didn't compare to the other sprouts we had..". Please see my rating system: 3 wonderful stars for a great recipe that is popular in our house and that we will have again, without problem, but which isn't in our top 10 list... Zaar has spoiled us severely :) Thanks for a lovely recipe !
