Spouts Salad

Sprouts Salad

Who is not health conscious these days?

And, who said eating healthy means eating boring?

Here is an interesting, quick Salad, that's easy on the tummy, and you can gorge on it without any guilt!
Winters would make this salad more interesting with better choice of vegetables.

What you will need:

Green mung bean sprouts - 3/4 cup
Cucumbers - 2, finely chopped
Carrot - 1, finely chopped
Onion - 1 medium sized, finely chopped
Green Chilli - 1, finely chopped
Walnuts - 1 tbsp , chopped or coarsely pounded
Cashewnuts - 1 tbsp , chopped or coarsely pounded
Salt - to taste
Honey - 2 tsp, to drizzle
Flaxseeds - 1 tsp
Lime juice - 1 tsp (optional)

Method:

1. Green Mung Sprouts need to be partially cooked in a covered vessel with very little water. Do not overcook. 5- 7 minutes is just fine. Keep the vessel covered, the mung beans will further get cooked in the steam. Optionally, you may use raw sprouts.
2. Take a large mixing bowl, and mix all the ingredients very well.
3. That's it! The Salad is ready! Complete guilt free bingeing!


Additional Gyan:
- To make this a Satvik recipe, skip the onion
- Once you mix everything well, the salt causes the cucumber to lose a lot of water. The best time to have it is right after its mixed.
- Honey, walnuts, cashwenuts, flaxseeds are the health boosters in this salad. Make sure the nuts are in moderation. :-)
- Optional veggies can include red/yellow/green bell peppers, tomatoes, boiled corn.
