How to Make Bean Sprout Salad Mom Style

  1. Prepare all salad ingredients: Wash and drain 10 ounces of bean sprouts. Thinly slice 1 cup of red onion. Halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes. Shred 1/2 cup of carrots. Chop 1/4 cup fresh cilantro.
  2. Whisk together dressing ingredients in a jar or small bowl: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Shake well to combine.
  3. Combine salad and dressing: Just before serving, add the prepared bean sprouts, red onion, cherry tomatoes, carrots, and cilantro to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately or chill for later (it tastes even better the next day!).
