Moong Beansprouts salad is a delicious, wholesome and healthy salad. It is nutrient-dense salad that I enjoy making for my family. Every ingredient incorporated into this recipe enhances its nutritional value without adding on to the carbohydrates or fats. Salad made with moong beansprouts is scrumptious, filling, and nutritious one. Definitely recommend it! 

The initial memories of Moong beansprouts are as a seven or eight-year-old child. At that time, it was more like a bean with a white tail to me. Giggles!  I was more amused by its appearance than its taste. Over the years this amusement evolved into something more serious as I realized the nutritional importance of these petit but powerful sprouts.

Now as a homemaker, I frequently make this salad with a lot of add-ons. Till date, I make a conscious effort to keep it as one of the appetizers for my guests. Making a diverse variety of snacks is what I am fond of. Hope you have gone through some snacks and appetizer recipes on this blog.
