On The Side

 

Carrot n' Sprout Salad

Our first time eating sprouted wheat I was surprised that it tasted a bit sweet. One of my favorite snacks!!!

This is one of my best recipe creations! To me it was so good, that I decided to make it one year for a New Year's dinner. Our guests, used to healthy foods, loved it. Of course, the *sprouting takes time, so plan ahead.

3 to 4 fresh carrots, peeled and grated
1 c. sprouted hard wheat, slightly chopped if you wish
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple, do not drain
3 oz. cream cheese, room temperature

plain yogurt

Mix pineapple, cream cheese, and about 1 T. yogurt until creamy. Add carrots and sprouts, mix well. Cover and chill until serving time. Stir before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings, but this also good for simple lunch, which would be 2 to 4 servings.

 

*you might wish to google sprouting methods....we use a quart glass jar, bought plastic screen that we cut to fit under canning ring.
