Bottom Line: If you have a strong, healthy immune system, eating raw sprouts shouldn’t be a problem.  If you’re worried or have a compromised immune system, be sure to eat thoroughly-cooked sprouts and avoid raw or slightly-cooked ones. “

When dining out, a lot of restaurants DO NOT cook or wash the sprouts. If you are worried about Samonella in sprouts, hold the sprouts and be wary pre-made salads and sandwiches which contain them.

For this Avocado Open-Faced Sandwich recipe, if you are worried about consuming raw sprouts, you may replace the Alfalfa Sprouts with Spring Mix or spinach. Or boil the Alfalfa Sprouts in hot water for a few minutes before use. It maybe a little soggy and not tastes as good. But if you have issue with raw sprouts, please cook the sprouts before use.

What kind of Olive Oil and Balsamic do you use at home? My friend was in Barcelona and brought me this brand ‘BaeTuria” olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It makes a difference with the quality of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I use this to make salad dressing as well or dipping sauce for bread.
