Hi Supermoms,

Surprisingly, this is the first Salad Recipe that I am posting in my blog. . The reason why I am sharing 'Salad ' recipe is that it can be cooked into a delicious snack! I have added fruits and nuts and some flavours that everyone at home like.

                      

A Good Salad is one that has it's share of greens, acids, proteins and flavour enhancers. I have used Chilli sauce with green chillies ,lemon juice ,freshly crushed cumin and caraway seeds for flavour. Apple Cidar Vinegar and Virgin Olive Oil balances the taste. The toasted nuts gives the crunch and the apples gives their tart . 

I also going to share my method of  sprouting whole grains ! 

When taste meets health, I think you can try this recipe  with your eyes closed!

METHOD :

1. Wash the whole greens and soak it in water for 8 hours. Drain the water. Let there be little moisture in the bowl . Do not drain thoroughly. Close the bowl with a mesh lid  and let it rest in room  temperature for another 8 to 15 hours .  You can toss the grains once in 2 hours so that the moisture spreads uniformly.The time for sprouting varies depending upon the climate. If you are having summers then the sprouting will happen within 8 hours . If the grains become too dry, you can sprinkle little water and mix.

Chef Tips :

1. You can add nuts of your choice.

2. Add or reduce the vegetables / fruits

3. Adding finely chopped herbs enhances taste

4. Add nuts only before you serve to retain crunchiness.

5. Always use fresh fruits and vegetables for Salad.

6. I steamed the sprouts for around 7minutes as my kids love it that way. You can choose to avoid that step.

Happy Cooking !

With love,
