As summer is approaching in full swing, I like to have more of salads, fruits and liquids. The sprouts salad is one such staple in our home.
To make the salad you need:
- Sprouts
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 1 medium tomato finely chopped
- 1/2 raw mango finely chopped
- 1 green chilly
- lemon juice from 1/2 lemon
- cilantro/ coriander for garnish
- Salt and pepper
How I make this salad
First make the sprouts. I use any bean variety which can be sprouted.
Soak the beans overnight in water ( at least 10 hours).
Drain the water and transfer the beans into a colander. Cover them completely with a cloth. Keep the cloth damp by sprinkling water. In a day or two you will get wonderful sprouts!

These sprouts are also readily available in the market, but it is very easy to make at home.
Rinse the sprouts nicely and then steam them or microwave on high for 6 minutes.
Drain the water and add the finely chopped onions, tomato, raw mango and green chilly. Add salt, pepper, lime juice and garnish with cilantro and you are ready to go!
Sometimes I add chopped apples and pomegranate.
Sometimes, I add an avocado or boiled potato. You can also add grated carrots. You can throw in some nuts for a quick crunch.
Easy, peasy quick dish, very healthy and filling. I would love to hear, what are some other variations you make in your salad.
