Note

For added flavor, drizzle with a classic French vinaigrette made from Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice.

If you prefer a heartier salad, consider adding sliced radishes or cucumber.

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Note that the eggs may dry out slightly, so add dressing just before serving.

Ensure bean sprouts are very fresh and crisp for the best texture.
