Vegan Mung Bean Sprout Salad Recipe

Mung Bean Sprout Salad: I have changed the food style from last December and the occasional salad has turned to mandatory for our dinner nowadays…Today I am here with a very healthy and filling sprouted mung bean salad which has raw moong bean sprouts and veggies mixed in it. Though the salad leafs/lettuces are not available in most of the places, this salad can be done with easy available ingredients. This is the recipe/salad was asked by many of my friends and relatives…Actually this salad helps for weight loss, slow digestion of this food reduces/controls blood sugar, on the whole diet and diabetic friendly…My H requested to add calorie and nutritional facts per serving in the recipe, will come up like that in future for such healthy posts 🙂
