[Preparation Time-10 mins : Cooking Time- 5 mins ] 

Sprouts Salad Ingredients:

• Homemade Sprouts – 2 cups
• Carrot – 1 (grated)
• Cucumber – 1/2 (chopped finely)
• Tomato – 1 (de-seeded & chopped finely)
• Coriander leaves – few
• Chilli powder – 1/4 tsp (optional)
• Salt – as needed

Method:

• Chop the cucumber, tomato (de-seeded) finely. Grate the carrot and keep it ready. Use a steamer or idli pot and steam the sprouts until cooked soft. I used my Tupperware steamer to cook it. This will hardly take 5 mins.

• To this add the chopped/grated veggies, coriander leaves, salt & chilli powder. Mix well so that all the ingredients blend well. Serve immediately.

Thats it! Healthy and yummy Sprouts Salad ready!

Refresh your day and enjoy!

Tips:

1. I have steam cooked the sprouts until it was soft but not mushy. U can half-cook it if u want it to be crunchy.
2. The reason for de-seeding the tomato is to prevent it from letting out water.
3. Make the Sprouts Salad just before serving.
4. U can use other veggies like onion, boiled potato, capsicum, raw mango pieces, cooked peanuts etc…
5. U can add juice from half a lemon.
6. Chilli powder can be skipped or substituted with finely chopped green chillies.
7. U can use store bought moong sprouts/mixed sprouts too.
