Moong Bean Sprout Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Eating salads is always a healthy choice, be it with your meals or just by themselves. Stand alone salads are not a regular feature in India, though it is picking up as\u00a0more youngsters get health conscious. Anyhow, Indians too have been eating salads for a long time although with their regular meals. As children, we always used to have cucumber (kheera<\/em>), tomatoes, onions with our everyday food. Apart from just these, there are other vegetable leaves, nuts, croutons, sprouts and sometimes meat that can be added to the salad to make it a more filling and balanced meal. Since the longest time, I love to add sprouts to my salad. Sprouting is a simple practice of germinating seeds. I use this practice to sprout moong<\/em> beans which can be added with some other ingredients to come up with a wonderful salad, which goes well with the Indian palate. This sprout salad can be eaten stand alone or with regular meals, the lemon gives a nice tangy flavor while chaat masala<\/em> can be added if you want to make it more like a chaat<\/em>. Here is a simple recipe to create your own sprout salad and add it to your and your kids meal.<\/p>\n
