Preparation
1 Dressing

5 Place the bean sprouts in a colander and rinse thoroughly.
6 In a small saucepan, bring 1 quart of salted water to a boil.
7 Add the snow peas and cook briefly until tender but still crisp, about 30 seconds. Pour boiling water and peas over the bean sprouts to wilt them a little.
8 Rinse immediately under cold water. Drain on paper towels.
9 In a large bowl, toss vegetables with raisins, mangoes and cashews.
10 Then, toss with enough dressing to coat the vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve on a single platter or individual plates lined with lettuce leaves.
