Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For added crunch and nutrition, consider tossing in a handful of roasted peanuts or lightly toasted pumpkin seeds just before serving.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, briefly steam the sprouted moong for 2-3 minutes to soften them slightly while retaining their crunch and nutritional value.
- Experiment with regional flavors by adding a pinch of chaat masala or freshly chopped mint and coriander for a North Indian twist.
- This salad tastes best when served chilled; prepare it up to 4 hours in advance, but add the fruits and dressing just before serving to maintain their freshness and texture.
Expert Tips
- For a heartier salad, add cooked quinoa or grilled chicken/tofu.
- Adjust the amount of dressing according to your preference. If making ahead, store the dressing separately and toss it just before serving.
- If using canned fruits, make sure to drain them well before adding to the salad to avoid excess liquid.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover salad without the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add the dressing just before serving.
