- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1 sliced orange
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (hara dhania)
- 1 seeded and chopped green chili (optional)

- In a serving dish make arrange tomatoes, cucumber and oranges. On top add the spiced sprouts.

Notes:
How to make sprouts:
- Soak the whole moong for 10 to 12 hours. Water should be about four times more than the Moong.
- After soaking moong, it will double in volume.
- Line a colander with muslin cloth. Drain the water and loosely wrap the beans with the muslin cloth. Store the soaked beans in a warm dark place. For example, store the beans in a closed oven or cover with a heavy cloth. Within a day or two, the beans will have sprouted.
Suggestions:
- Sprouts can be refrigerated for four or five days.
- Sprouts salad makes a good lunch to take to the office or school.
Excellent salad and an outstanding presentation. Thank you!
