Sunflower sprouts are easy to grow and make a great high nutrition addition to salads and other dishes. I am always on the lookout for good recipes for them and this one definitely fits the bill. Not only is this dish just chocked full of healthy stuff, including healthy fats, it is easy to prepare and tastes great. In addition it is a complete meal that can be prepared in as little as 15 minutes. How can you beat that!
