Eating healthy can be as interesting if made with an eye on creativity and a perfect blend of flavors. I am talking of these warm Indo-Chinese flavored bell peppers and a sprout salad. It is one of those salads that I loved last week in a restaurant and I instantly thought of making it.
Bell peppers and sprouts are easily available in the market, well the edible flowers and microgreens I had sourced from the Crawford market- Mumbai. I so adore the look and the mild flavors of edible flowers that I end up using in salads and smoothies.
Cook this fresh, warm, and classic bell pepper and sprout salad right away. It is seriously delish and hearty. The crunch and the taste of this salad delivers a bang on flavor. It is vegan and guilt-free. Well, a perfect meal option for those dull days when you do not want to spend a lot of time in your kitchen.
