Pat the sprouts dry before layering – excess moisture makes the jar soggy

Variations and Substitutions

Swap the Greek yogurt for a vegan cashew‑cream for dairy‑free, use chickpeas instead of boiled eggs for extra protein, or toss in a spoonful of sriracha‑honey for a bold kick.

How to Store and Reheat

Keep the jars sealed in the fridge for up to 3 days; the dressing stays fresh. If you prefer a warm bite, microwave the jar (without the lid) for 30‑45 seconds, or freeze the assembled jars for up to a month and thaw overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other sprouts?

Absolutely! Try mung bean or lentil sprouts for a different texture and flavor – they work beautifully with the same dressing.

What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?

Replace it with cottage cheese or a plant‑based yogurt; just add a squeeze of lemon juice to keep the tang.

Stored in an airtight container, they stay crisp and flavorful for up to three days in the refrigerator.
