Microgreens Are Sprouting Superfood
By Grace O
Sprouts have come a long way since the 1970s. Back then, only hippies and health nuts ate sprouts.

Barley is a great source of fiber, B vitamins, and selenium. I serve it with apples in this bright, crunchy salad. For the corn kernels, I prefer fresh-roasted corn, but you can use thawed frozen corn kernels, too. The apples can be any variety or color you like, or even a combination. All apples contain quercetin, a compound that helps support the immune system, thereby "keeping the doctor away." Raisins provide antioxidants and resveratrol, the same compound found in red wine. My Honey-Lime Dressing increases the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunity-boosting components of this recipe. Get The Recipe
