The word "salad" can often bring up images that are not very exciting and for the diet conscious. However, healthy does not mean boring! Infact, you can combine many different healthy ingredients together to create exciting delicious dishes, that are high in taste and low in calories.
With some soaked mung bean sprouts, I went on a healthy ingredient hunt in my pantry and pretty much used whatever I felt like to make a hearty, protein packed salad which was loved. Gluten free, vegan and loaded with goodness - all the elements of freshness, crunch, crispness made for one yummy meal :)
Here it is, my MUNG BEAN SPROUTS SALAD:
Ingredients: 1 cup mung bean sprouts (soaked and sprouted), 1 tomato chopped, 1 carrot grated, 1 small red onion, handful of almond flakes, peanuts and coconut flakes, chilli flakes, lemon juice, salt.
Make: In a pan, mildly saute the sprouts with a bit of oil and chilli flakes, add salt to taste. Let it cool completely. In a serving bowl, add the chopped tomato, chopped onion, grated carrot to the cooled sprouts toss together (do not mix vigorously). Dry roast almond flakes, peanuts and coconut flakes. Let cool and sprinkle over the salad, along with lemon juice. Your healthy Mung Bean Sprout Salad is ready to enjoy!
