Spring Rice Salad with Alfalfa Sprouts
Alfalfa Sprouts: Three-Star Super-food
Sometimes it's not what you have that counts but what you don't have.
Sprouts are a perfect example.
Although low in protein, vitamins, and minerals, they rate the super-food label because they balance the scales with three other attributes: amazingly few calories, no fat, and virtually no sodium.
We fully expect that once you try alfalfa sprouts, you'll get hooked!
Then you'll want to grow your own, for no store-bought sprouts can compare to a super-fresh, homegrown batch.
All you will need to get started is a bean and seed sprouter, and before long, you'll be gardening away in your own kitchen.

Instructions
Step 1
In a large salad bowl, combine rice, peas, scallions, and spinach.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice and pulp, basil, oregano, and mustard.
Step 3
Toss half of the dressing with the rice mixture, then arrange sprouts atop rice and drizzle the remaining dressing over them.
Step 4
(Sprouts are not tossed with the rice because they tend to mat and tangle when mixed.)
Step 5
Serve at room temperature in individual salad bowls.
