delicious and vitamin-rich salad

Roast the sunflower seeds in a pan without fat and set aside. Mix together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season with sea salt and pepper. Cut the bell pepper and apple (with skin) into very fine cubes (approx. 0.5 cm each). Mix them with the broccoli sprouts and sunflower seeds with the dressing and let everything sit for at least 30 minutes. Note: Broccoli sprouts are very easy to grow yourself. To germinate, soak the sprouting seeds for 6-8 hours and leave to germinate for about 3 days. The sprouts should be rinsed with clean water twice a day. 6 tablespoons of broccoli sprouts are roughly the same amount as 1 tablespoon of broccoli sprouts. Even in their early stages, broccoli sprouts have a pleasant broccoli flavor and are rich in vitamins E, C, B1, B2, B6, provitamin A, and iron. Furthermore, they contain secondary plant substances such as quercetin and various mustard oil glycosides (glucoraphane/sulforaphane), which have a cancer-protective effect.
