Ingredients:
1 cup mixed sprouts (mung beans, chickpeas, lentils – steamed or raw)

1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 green chili, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

To prepare sprouts salad, begin by rinsing your mixed sprouts thoroughly and lightly steaming them if preferred for easier digestion. Once cooled, transfer them to a bowl. Add finely chopped cucumber, tomato, red onion, and green chili for a spicy kick. Toss in fresh coriander for a burst of flavor. Season the mix with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of chaat masala if desired for a tangy twist. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad and gently mix everything together. For added texture and a hint of sweetness, sprinkle some pomegranate seeds on top before serving. This refreshing and nutritious salad is best enjoyed fresh.
