Strawberry Summer salad

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that I have recently been posting pictures of salads with bean sprouts.  I have to admit I have been addicted since my parents came over for a barbecue and my mom brought a Strawberry Summer Salad (recipe came from our local grocers newsletter).  It was so refreshing and tasty that I have been adding it to many salads that I have eaten since then.  And since sprouts contain fiber, potassium and vitamin C, there's no reason not to.
