Notes
Fresh lime juice is essential in this mung bean sprouts salad recipe as it elevates the flavour. Avoid bottled lime juice and use only freshly squeezed juice from limes. You could use fresh lemon juice instead of lemon, though.
Serve this sprout salad in a cold bowl/plate to keep it fresh for a longer time.
Combine lemon juice and salt right before you serve a salad.
