SPROUTED MUNG BEAN SALAD (MOONG SALAAD)
This is a variation of one of my favorite salads and is SO incredibly healthy that I get to feel superior when I eat it. ;o) You can use a variety of sprouts; my favorites are mung beans and lentils. The spiciness can be adjusted by altering the chili/jalapeno amount. Some versions of this salad call for cooking the sprouts in a little water for 2 minutes, but I always use them raw - love the crunch! Time doesn't include sprouting your beans/lentils.

[email protected]This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try making it again with less fruit.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of mung beans, but I actually really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful that it really masks the taste of the beans.
