Sprouting beans and root veg salad.

Every now and then, we get a bag of mixed sprouting beans in our veg bag. I am never sure what to do with them, but today I hit on a winner. Salad of bean sprouts, grated carrot and grated beetroot with a sate style dressing. The dressing was based on this one http://sproutpeople.org/recipes/entrees/hunanmungs.html with a fair few substitutions. It was quite spicy due to the raw garlic and ginger, but lovely! Roughly equal proportions of vinegar and peanut butter or tahini and oil, then add soy, minced garlic and ginger and a bit of ceyan pepper. I left out the cup of stock, as I wanted a dressing rather than a soupy sauce.

The salad was so bright and beautiful and the dressing made it so morish that we got through a whole bag of spouts and a large carrot and a beetroot in one sitting.
