After my recipe of Sprouted Green Gram Stir Fry With Cherry Tomatoes was selected among the top 5 best recipes in India by Chef. Pranav Joshi at the Fortune Health Bites Contest, I got motivated to try a lot of new recipes with sprouts. The healthy sprouts salad that I am sharing today is what I have been doing since ages, but I never felt like sharing it.
Today I made it again for my daughter as they had to take healthy salads to their school snack box. I felt like sharing this recipe with my readers as this recipe can be added to your kids lunchbox too. Moreover sprouts have lot of health benefits and can be great if you are on a weight loss diet. I will be trying out different recipes with sprouts. Will be sharing it with you all one by one. Do check the end of this post for more sprouts and salads recipes links.
1 cup sprouted green grams/moong
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup boiled /steamed sweet corn
Juice extracted from 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
A pinch of salt for garnish
How to sprout the green grams?
Soak the green grams overnight in 3 cups water.
On Day1 morning drain the water completely and store the green grams in an airtight box. Let them be like that on day 1 night.
On Day2 morning you will notice small sprouts from the green grams.
If you want larger sprouts, store them in the same airtight container for another night(day 2 night).
On Day 3 morning, you will see nice and large sprouts.
You can either store them in the fridge for 2 more days or you can start using them in your recipes.
After the sprouts are ready, mix all the ingredients and serve the salad fresh.
