Sounds like a perfect recipe for me as am dieting now :D
ReplyDeleteIts great for diets because unlike diet food this is healthy but so tasty too.
DeleteLooks great and must be so very good for your health. I used to sprout all sorts of beans in the 70s, including mung. But I didn't cook them. Just gave them a good rinse and ate them in a salad raw. They might taste better when cooked. Visiting from UBC.

this looks really tasty and is something I would never thing of using :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! Such a nutrient-dense, healthy, and delicious salad recipe. Is the sugar an obligatory ingredient?
ReplyDeleteYou can leave the sugar out it is there to balance the sharpness from the lemon juice. The sweet/ tangy flavour is great.
