I have to admit that I dont really LOVE SALADS. I mean, I do like to order salads for lunch sometimes when I am out, but truthfully when I eat a salad, I'm hungry within an hour.... well, RAVENOUS actually! So needless to say, I don't make salads at home....... that's why on My Pinterest Boards for Healthy Recipes that are Fat Burning, you will find NO salads, but definitley find great recipes for delicious, healthy and filling meals.
So this is a huge thing for me that I am posting a SALAD RECIPE. And the only reason I am doing so is because I got the inspiration from this on a website I found and I played around with it because I wanted to finally try MUNG BEAN SPROUTS. And the outcome was SURPRISINGLY DELICIOUS. So I have to share it. If this sounds just as YUMMY to you as to me, then go ahead and SHARE it. I share all my healthy recipes and workout on My Facebook Page so that I can help women just like you get FIT, FABULOUS and enjoy being HEALTHY. So help me share the goods.
Here are some BENEFITS of Mung Bean Sprouts:
-
High in Vitamin C

You have got to try this crunchy, fresh, filling and easy to make salad.
Crunchy Mung Greens Salad

4 cups arugula, chopped
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup scallions, chopped
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 avocado, sliced
Dressing:
1 cup plain greek yogurt
juice of 1/2 lemon
dash salt
2 tbsp EVOO
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and set aside. In a large bowl combine the rest of the ingredients except the avocado. To serve, place the salad with a few slices of avocado and a dollop of the dressing.
I ate this salad for a few days because I made so much, but I really enjoyed it. I had it with fish one night, chicken another and with some tuna for lunch on another day. It was really delicious. I hope you give it a shot like I did.
If you do try it, make sure to go back to My Facebook Page and let me know what you thought. I would also love to hear some of your ideas. What would you add to this salad or take away to make it even yummier?
This is a delicious and refreshing salad to have after a good morning workout. I know how pressed for time us women are these days and how busy life gets so if you can scrounge up just 20 minutes, then you have to try some of my Fat Burning & Muscle Toning Workouts on My YouTube Channel
