Notes

Tips for Making the Best Sprouted Moong Salad 

  • Add Extra Veggies: Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers, carrots, or spinach to make the salad even more colorful and nutritious! 
  • Add Spice: For a bit of heat, sprinkle some black salt, red chili powder, or chaat masala. 
  • Make It a Complete Meal: Add quinoa or brown rice for a more filling salad that works as a full meal! 
  • Add Fruit: If you like a bit of sweetness, try adding pomegranate seeds, orange slices, or even apple chunks for a refreshing twist. 

Sprouted Moong Salad Pairing Ideas 

  • With Grilled Chicken or Tofu: Add grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer cubes on top for an extra protein boost. 
  • As a Side: This salad pairs wonderfully with your favorite curry or dal, balancing out the richness of the main dish. 
  • With Chapati or Roti: For a wholesome meal, serve this moong dal sprouts salad alongside some warm roti or chapati. 

Storage Tips 

  • Store Leftovers: If you have leftover salad, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for 1-2 days. 
  • Avoid Pre-Mixing Dressing: To keep the salad crispy, add the dressing just before serving. 
  • Storage for Sprouts: Keep the sprouted moong beans in a jar in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Just ensure they stay moist but not soggy.
