Spicy Mango & Bean Sprout Salad

PREP 25 min

Description

This colorful, spicy mango and bean sprout salad draws inspiration from Thai flavors. A refreshing mix of cool, crunchy, and crisp textures, it’s both satisfying and nutrient-dense. Packed with protein, polyphenols, and vitamins (A, C, B-complex, K, and E), it offers a nourishing boost. Sprouts are easier to digest than whole beans or lentils, with protein that’s more readily absorbed.


NOTE

Use any firm, sweet-and-sour mango variety.
