Salad with soybean sprouts

4 servings

15 minutes

Soy sprout salad is a light and refreshing dish that combines the tenderness of sprouted soybeans with the crunch of green bell peppers. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, but the ingredients and dressing evoke Eastern motifs. Garlic and sesame oil provide a rich aroma, while soy sauce and balsamic vinegar add a subtle sweet-sour note. The sesame seeds give the salad a pleasant texture. It is perfect as an appetizer or side dish, especially with fish or chicken dishes. Chilled before serving, it offers a refreshing taste and lightness, making it an excellent addition to summer menus.
