Veggie Sprouts Salad Combo

Submitted by Anu_N

"I found this recipe for a hearty sprouts salad in a newspaper, and modified it to serve as a light lunch or dinner, accompanied by low-fat yogurt or fruit juice, if you like. It's incredibly easy to make. Use leftover boiled potatoes, and this becomes an almost no-cook recipe. Very satisfying (it takes a while to eat, though! Plenty of "munching") and crunchy, and wonderfully low "

I used unpeeled baked potatoes and salsa in place of the tomatoes. This made a decent sized meal for one. It's not something I'd want to eat everyday but it's a good little to no cook meal and one I'll probably make a few more times while it's hot out.

Yes, it's munchy and crunchy, and yes, it's very healthy -- but not much else. This is not a recipe that I would make again, unless I was in a hurry and had some left-over potatoes and bean sprouts lying around.

WOW! Thank You, Anu. My dad, mom and me loved this so much! It was GREAT! Though it took some time to eat, we all enjoyed it so much for Zaar day. Thanks again!
