sprouts


Explanation:
See the first link below for Google results for the pairing with "salad sprouts" from a few Swedish sources. However, I would use just "sprouts" on a menu, as at the second link. "Salad sprouts" would be more commonly used in describing the item in another context, as in a list of crops or goods to be obtained -- see http://www.google.com/search?q="salad sprouts"&hl=en&num=10&...

Here's a Swedish menu with just "sprouts" used in its own translation: http://www.sommar.com/clients/eagle/Menysystem/index.asp?lin...
