Learn how to make green moong sprouts salad with how to make sprouts at home. Spices to match Indian taste buds.
I always sprout whole moong by soaking some extra, when I make pesarattu. I usually make Sprouts fired rice, this time thought of making this salad.
Here is a simple moong sprouts salad recipe I make with the sprouts. No such rules or specific ingredients, just add veggies of my choice. The main ingredient I make sure to add is my favorite onion, tomato, lemon juice and cilantro/ coriander leaves and chat masala.
Variations
- My friend actually suggested steaming the sprouts for few minutes. But I thought of trying it raw as it is more nutritious.
- You can add cucumber or even some fruits like pear, apple to give a sweet twist.
- You can add some nuts to make it more nutritious as well as give some crunch in the salad.
Storage
You can keep the salad refrigerated for about 5 days, but I recommend keeping sprouts in fridge and tossing together other ingredients freshly everyday.
