Sprouted Mung Bean Salad

Today I'd like to share a little something from Gene, who writes: "Chet, here's a healthy recipe that we frequently fix when we're in a hurry. We almost always have mung beans sprouting at various stages, and we make a variety of dishes with them. The salad seems to have a cooling effect, especially in the summer heat of Texas!"

Sprouted Mung Bean Salad

1 cup sprouted mung beans
1 cup grated carrot
1 tsp sprouted fenugreek
1 tsp grated fresh ginger root

Mix well with 1/2 to 1 cup of non-fat yogurt. Garnish with 1 cup of finely chopped cilantro and 1 tsp of chopped chives and/or its lavender blooms, just before serving. Salt not necessary.

Serve with rice, baked potato, as a sandwich, or even with plain lettuce.

Now, that's a versatile recipe for mung beans. Give it a try and let me know what you think by commenting below.
