Raise your hands, if you are like me and always looking for ways to incorporate more salads into your diet? This Indian Mung Bean Salad or Moong Sprouts Salad is one of my favorite such goto recipes. As I have moong beans or sprouted moong beans most of the time in summer at home, this one is my favorite summer salad. It’s SUPER easy to make, packed with flavors, nutritious, and had a nice crunchy texture. Also, the addition of pomegranate gives it a light sweet flavor. No complicated or tons of ingredients, just a few stuff and you have the salad ready in 10 minutes. Makes for a perfect breakfast, lunch, or even anytime snacks. It can also be served as snacks at home parties and can be made in advance (like a day before).
Indian Mung Bean Salad Ingredients:
As with most salads, the ingredients are super simple and you can add/remove or substitute any of them (except the moong):
Moong Bean or Mung Beans Onion – you can use any that you like. Roasted Peanuts – use any flavors you have. Pomegranate Arils – peeled at home or storebought. Lemon or lime Fresh Cilantro + mint – you can use either too Seasoning: salt, red chili powder, turmeric, amchur powder (dry mango – optional)
How to Make Moong Bean Salad:
Just chop the onions and fresh cilantro thinly. Add moong / mung beans, onion, pomegranate arils, peanuts, seasoning, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix evenly. Add lemon or lime juice and mix everything once again. Give it a quick taste test and add more seasoning if required. Serve fresh and enjoy.
With just a handful of ingredients, you can make an extremely delicious and healthy salad.
Storage and Tips:
My number one rule for all salads is storing the main ingredients separately and the seasoning separately. Never add salt or seasoning and store salads as they leave the water and make them soggy You can place all the ingredients separately in air-tight containers in the fridge. You can replace pomegranate with chopped apples, pear, orange, etc. You can replace peanuts or make it more loaded with any other nuts like cashews, almonds, raisins, pistachio, etc You can skip red chili powder if need be.
