Sprouts and Peanut Salad

Sprouts and Pea Nut Salad  

After festival season, so much heavy festive food and sweets, we need to take some light and healthy options. Here is a simple sprout salad. Normally eating sprouts leaves some bitter taste in mouth which is not liked by many of us. Nevertheless the nutrients content of sprouts are always excellent.

Hence I made this salad in a partial cooked manner where usual sprout taste gets eliminated. With peanut powder added to it, we get a good crunchy taste and flavour gets boosted.
