Sometimes it just has to be quick and, above all, healthy. I’m thinking of a salad with potential to become your favorite. The salad gets a special nutritional kick from the addition of sprouts and seeds. What is actually so extraordinary about sprouts? More about that later. The special thing about this salad is actually its simplicity. My personal highlight is the Balsamic dressing no wonder that it comes several times a week on the table with me.
Favorite salad with sprouts and seeds
Salads are fun, especially because they are so incredibly versatile. Candied nuts, sweet fruits, topped with fried tofu or just plain salad. Everything is possible. For this recipe, I focused on the essentials. Fine arugula forms the basis, although all kinds of other lettuce can also be used here. Add to this fruity cherry tomatoes and? No more and no less. And what about the nutrient boost? This comes mainly from the use of sprouts.
Are sprouts healthy?
The answer to this question is a resounding yes:
- Sprouts are little powerhouses and are full of vitamins, minerals and trace elements
- especially rich in vitamin C, B vitamins and vitamin A
- rich in calcium, magnesium and phosphorus
The only question is whether you should germinate the sprouts yourself or simply buy them at the organic market? It really depends on how much effort you want to put in. Grow sprouts is actually very simple, it still takes a few days and the little powerhouses need to be cared for and rinsed. In the organic market, it’s just a hand movement to the shelf and you’re done.

This vegan salad has super powers
But something else makes the salad special: The dressing . It’s not fancy, but it tastes pretty darn delicious. Balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and a dash of maple syrup. Voila. Mixed seeds and dried tomatoes add a crunchy touch. YUMMY!
As a side dish is particularly perfect a homemade spelt bread , Bread roll or a blob of almond-based cream cheese. Dessert desired? Then I recommend the delicious vegan caramel pudding .
