- To make the sprouted salad, you can use any type of sprouts you like. Some popular choices include broccoli sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, and mung bean sprouts.
- The lemon creamy dressing is a great way to add a tangy and creamy flavor to your salad. You can adjust the amount of lemon juice and mayonnaise to taste.
- Toasted pecans add a nice crunchy texture to the salad. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
