Green Moong dal (in sprouts or boiled form) though very healthy is difficult to cut through as salad especially with kids. One could try adding this little twist by adding Coriander MintDip to make it more interesting. I tried and voila, it was all gone in a jiffy. It is a regular at home now! You may try it too and let me know!

Boiled Moong bean salad is a very simple to make, healthy snack/breakfast item. All you need is a little pre-planning. Sprout or boil the green moong dal the night before, refrigerate and use it the next day as a cold salad. Most of the ingredients are available in the kitchen or the fridge. Just need a little fixing.

It is also a great way to use the green chutney you made for dinner or lunch last night. It can be done in 5-10 minutes if things are ready.

Suggested variations/additions to boiled moong bean salad: 1/2 cup of finely chopped cucumber and capsicum cubes.
