Mexican Rajma, Bean Sprouts and Lettuce Tossed in Guacamole Dressing
by Tarla Dalal
Bean Sprouts is a very salad-friendly ingredient, as it has a wonderful crunchy texture, along with a pleasant, mildly-sweet flavour. In this multi-faceted salad, bean sprouts team up with delicious veggies like capsicum, cucumber and spring onions, not to forget everybody’s favourite kidney beans!
This combo of veggies and beans makes this Mexican -style salad a nutri-dense one, while the innovative avocado-based oil-free guacamole dressing makes it incredibly tasty. The avocado also imparts a wise dose of good fats to the creamy dressing, all of which makes the Bean Sprouts and Lettuce tossed in Guacamole Dressing a valuable addition to your menu.
Just spread a portion of this wholesome salad in a Chapati and roll it up tightly to make a wrap and enjoy with a bowl of Carrot Onion Soup .
