This mung bean salad is made with cooked mung beans hence safe for toddlers, kids and also pregnant women. You can easily vary the ingredients in this salad to suit your preference. I have added some boiled corn just to add some sweetness and color to the salad.

These kind of recipes are what I heart during summers. Easy to make, super light on tummy and comes together in minutes. Just soak some mung bean overnight and you can make this salad in no time.

Pressure cook some mung bean until just soft. The beans should not turn mushy. To the cooked mung bean you can add any of your preferred add-ins and make healthy mung bean salad. I usually add whatever ingredients I have in hand and make this salad.

Below I am listing some variations that you can do in this recipe.

Variations With Mung Bean Salad Recipe:

Instead of plain mun bean you can use sprouted mung bean. However it is best to cook the sprouted mung bean well before adding to the salad.

You can add fresh pomegranate seeds in this salad for a slight tangy taste. You can also add semi ripe mango. Just chop it finely and add.

Chopped or mashed avocado can also be added in this salad for a creamy texture.

I have used basic salad dressing in this recipe. Lemon juice, salt, sugar and pepper powder. You can use your preferred dressing like balsamic vinegar, honey-lemon juice.

For making this salad more filling you can add pan toasted sweet potatoes or paneer. More salad greens can also be added.

Instead of mung bean you can also use cooked green peas, white peas, boiled peanuts also.

How To Serve Mung Bean Salad?

Serve this salad along with a clear soup for your soup and salad meal.

You can add some toasted brown bread pieces to make a filling yet light meal.

This salad can also be wrapped in roti for toddlers and kids.

Chill the salad for 30 minutes and serve as cold appetizer.
