Anyone fancies a tasty salad?

This is an example from a restaurant menu. Apparently bilingual, but there are some surprise ingredients in the English version.

According to Polish text it was supposed to be a bowl of salads with feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, red onion and juicy sprouts.

In the English version pepper (visible in the pictures) changed to paprika. There is also lettuce, "herbs sauce" - perhaps herbal sauce? And the best one - GERMS... 

Yummy...

Possible explanation:
When you choose "kiełek" in a Polish-English dictionary, there are two suggestions: sprout and germ. Apparently the author of this menu did not know which one is which...
