    Recipe Introduction


    Mom visited me one summer and prepared this awesome salad. Although the dressing may sound strange, it is truly what this salad needs for a topping. I have brought this salad to Church Pot Luck Dinners several times since, and everyone raved about it. You will not be disappointed.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 lb. bean sprouts
    • 10 oz. spinach, cut up
    • 1/4 cup cooked rice
    • 2 celery stalks, diced
    • 1 green pepper, cut in strips
    • 1 red pepper, cut in strips
    • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
    • 3 1/2 oz. toasted almonds, optional
    • 3 1/2 oz. toasted almonds, optional
    • 1 1/4 cups dried cranberries
    • DRESSING
    • 1/3 cup Mazola oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • 2 TBSP Soya Sauce
    • Salt and Pepper to taste
    • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped


    Instructions


    1. Buy your bean sprouts at the last minute so they remain crunchy.

    2. Prepare dressing a few hours in advance to have all flavors well blended.
    3. Mix all ingredients, then add dressing just before serving.



    Final Comments


    I prepare this salad in my very largest stainless steel bowl because it's easier to toss all the ingredients together.
