  3. Drizzle with your favourite dressing and gently combine.

A Closer Look at the Ingredients

Quinoa is naturally rich in plant-based protein and contains a balance of all nine essential amino acids, making it a wholesome foundation for this dish. Sprouted mung beans bring an extra layer of crunch while supporting easy digestion. If you would like to make your own sprouts at home, it is simple to do:

  • Day 1: Rinse the mung beans and soak them overnight in a bowl of fresh water.

  • Day 2 (Morning): Drain and rinse well, then place the beans in a damp cheesecloth or colander. Keep them covered and out of direct light.

  • Day 2 (Evening): Rinse again, drain thoroughly, and cover once more. By this point you will notice small sprouts beginning to form.

  • Day 3–4: Continue rinsing morning and evening until your sprouts have grown to your liking. They can be eaten fresh or kept in the fridge for up to three days.

Bring It to the Table

This salad works beautifully as a side or can easily stand alone as a light meal. Share it at your next gathering, enjoy it as part of a reset, or pair it with other recipes from the Health Hub. However you serve it, it’s a bowl to nourish and share with joy.
