Veggie-Sprouts Salad

Veggie-Sprouts Salad

A cup of salad with whatever main course dish you have is a good thing to do if you prefer to remain trim and healthy.  It might sound difficult to some of you...coz eating raw vegetables is kind of boring right? But you could make it interesting. Adding the vegetables of your choice and seasoning them with a little pepper, salt and lime definitely makes it flavourful.

Sprouts are said to be rich in digestible energy, bio available vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins and phytochemicals. And of course the importance of raw vegetables need no description. So when put together they give you a bowl full of health. J
