If you have sprouts ready, then this sandwich is so handy to prepare. After making sprouts at home wanted to try something different other than regular salad. So gave this is a try, combined with all vegetables and mayo the sprouts taste was not dominant. You can include sprouts in your curry too.

Make this sandwich raw or sauté the vegetables and give a try. If you don’t have sprouts use microgreens or try without sprouts, even with vegetables and mayo combination it taste awesome with the goodness of avocado.
