This was part of the fantastic picnic that we brought to Governor’s Island. This is a great recipe straight out of The Candle Cafe Cookbook,which is from a great vegan restaurant in NYC.

This is a quick, simple, and light “salad” that’s perfect as a side or for lunch.
Yes, sprouts are the stereotypical vegan hippy food, but give this recipe a shot. Don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it. Like us, you’ll wind up learning to use and love sprouts. Tasty (if done right), filling, and easy.
