Spicy Sprout Salad Dressing
This can be used as a salad dressing, dip, or soup base. Radish sprouts taste just like radishes, and the sprouts are more nutritious. To create a dip using these ingredients, use less water and more avocado. Substitutes for the avocado include cashews, pine nuts, or macadamia nuts.

Preparing Sprouts
To prepare these sprouts, soak 3 tablespoons alfalfa seeds and radish seeds for 8 to 12 hours. Drain and rinse. Then transfer the seeds to a sprouter. Sprout for 5 days, and rinse the seeds two or three times a day. Rinse the sprouts to remove the hard hulls and they are ready to use.
