Rashmi K -

 A quick and easy healthy salad recipe made with freshly sprouted moong and moth beans with finely chopped veggies. it is an ideal weight loss recipe which is made by just mixing the ingredients without any cooking process involved. the salad can be perfectly shared as side to your lunch or dinner meal or can served as it is.


salad recipes are generally served for purpose which is either weight loss or with dietary requirements. obviously these recipes are not a popular choice and are consumed with an intention. however, there are some salad recipes which are pure fun to consume and this is one of them.

as i previously mentioned, salad recipes are generally less preferred recipes and do not have huge fan base compared to other recipes. it does not offer the same spice level or the combination of flavour. well, there is a reason for it. there is a saying that whatever tastes good to your tongue is not good for your health and vice versa. basically, the salad recipes fall under the latter section and generally avoided. having said that there are some particular salad recipes which offer both. 

Some people can't eat salad without dressing.  They prepared salad at home and lastly add store bought dressing..what's the use of eating salad? Personally I feel that its not healthy..so for this we can prepare dressing at home itself.  Today I ll share the dressing recipe too..

I this recipe, i have used a homemade moong bean sprouts and it took me around 2-3 days to sprout mung. you can use the same recipe and use any sprouts with the same combination. lastly, the salad can be easily extended by adding or topping other veggies to this recipe. as a matter of fact, you can add finely chopped carrot, beans, beetroot, cabbage and any fresh leafy vegetable. I used Pomegranate here you can add any fruits of your choice..
