Yayyyy! It’s officially spring. Although it’s still on the cooler side it’s great to see some color finally.In greengrocers’ and farmers’ markets, signs of spring are all around. The cherry blossom tress are in full bloom, atleast here in NC. Gardens are blooming with colorful tulips, hyacinths and & daffodils and finally the kids are outdoors in the evenings. It’s that time of the year when we are going to be out an about. I don’t know about you but as far as my family goes, we like to spend more time outdoors than indoors. Oh!!! You too.!!! Same pinch. So what that translates to is that, I spend less time in the kitchen and more quality time with my family. So you will see a lot more of quick and easy recipes in my upcoming posts.moong salad with indo chinese sauce

During spring I like the transition from warm foods to cooler foods that are much lighter but yet loaded with flavors. Thus today’s pick is healthy mung sprout salad with the 5 Minute Asian Dressing. Those of you who read this blog regularly, you will know about it as I posted the dressing recipe a couple weeks ago. If you don’t know what I am talking about, I ask you to check it out now!!! Trust me you will instantly fall in love with it’s flavors and it’s ease of preparation.moong salad with inco chinese sauce

The other day I had some left over mung sprouts, because I tend to make use of mung very often in my cooking. During spring and summer as it’s warmer I like to sprout the beans. To read more about why sprouting is good for us, check out one of my earlier posts Pineapple Mung Salad. Sprouting is a great way to incorporate raw food into your diet and it also aids in easily digesting the nutrients.moong salad with indo chinese sauce

It was one of those days where I was glued onto my laptop working on a blog post, editing pictures, writing the post it self, scheduling it for promotion on social media and a few more blog related activities. I was jut having a super busy day. So much for running a health food blog that there are times if I have failed to plan the meals, I have to come up with something super quick(read 5 minutes or less) as I get super hungry hangry. So I go down to the kitchen to see what can I come up with and I landed up tossing this salad which actually turned out be an absolute delight. It’s full of refreshing flavors from the dressing and varied textures. Ofcourse it has a health quotient to it and that is why I think you must try this salad. Well for me I had some left over Mung sprouts, however you could intentionally sprout the Mung beans or use the left overs to make this salad.

If you are a salad person like me and like to enjoy something light & refreshing, here is a list of some of my favorite salads from the blog.

  • Tabbouleh Salad
  • Beta-Carotene Salad
  • Pineapple Mung Salad
  • Watermelon Summer Salad
  • Bulgar Wheat / Daliya Salad
  • Might Mung Breakfast Salad
  • Thai Salad with Green Coconut Dressing
  • Tropical Pasta Salad with Creamy Vegan Dressing
  • Mango Cucumber Salad with Cilantro Chili Dressing

    Cathy, this proportion serves upto 2 people. Based on this you can calculate for the number of people you want to carry it for. Also i recommend carry some extra dressing as some people might like extra dressing. When i make it for parties, i keepthe dressing on the side too. Hope that helps. Let me know how did it go.

    Looks delicious. I’m thinking about taking this salad to a potluck. However, the recipe doesn’t say how many servings it is? Total of about 1 1/2 cups of ingredients without the dressing. So, maybe one serving–or maximum two?

    Hubby is the salad fan in our house. I’ve never heard of mung sprout. It looks sort of like the bean sprouts one Chinese restaurant near us uses in their rice (which is the reason we don’t get their rice). Are they the same thing?
