With the weather changing I wanted to sprout some beans and enjoy a good salad. Ever since my sister gifted me a sprout maker, I have been using it to make sprouts in the warmer months. This salad is protein enriched and tasty and it also plays with textures. Sprouts and onions add the crunch, grapes are juicy, cucumbers are crispy, avocado's adds softness, tomatoes add firmness and a blend of all these textures makes the salad very satisfying. Here is how I sprouted the beans and made the salad.
Gadgets:
Bowls
Measuring cups
Spoons
Knife
Cutting Board
Ingredients:
Sprouted Beans - 3 cups
Tomatoes - 2 firm ones cut into cubes

Preparation:
1. Prep the fruits and veggies.
2. In a bowl add sprouts and add each vegetable and fruit one at a time and mix well before adding the next. I mixed based on the texture of the ingredients. Onions, cucumber, grapes, avocado, pepper, salt, orange juice and tomatoes. Mix it gently and add mint on top.
Here are some ways you can enjoy the salad: Have just the salad in the bowl, heat a tortilla until it is crispy and add it on the side with a bowl of salad, Make a wrap with the salad and enjoy, serve it as a side dish with any kind of food.
