Today Razina loves to share with us a super easy to make, protein filled Mixed Sprouts Salad, which she makes more often during Iftar time at her home.

{Ramada Special} – Mixed Sprouts Salad by Razina of ‘The Recipes of India’

We are witnessing the Holy Month of Ramadan once again by Allah’s grace and here is a wishing to all the readers of Yummy Food – “Ramadan Kareem”. It is always a pleasure to receive an invite for this glorious event and this is my 3rd Annual Ramadan guest post in a row, thanks Lubna for this kind gesture.

Razina Ramadan Celebrations

As we follow the Lunar Calendar, the Holy month of Ramadan starts 11 days earlier each year. When I was 10 years old and had observed my complete fast for the first time, it was during December, in the chilled weather and the days were also shorter. With each year passing by, we now have this month during summers, when the days are longer and temperatures are at its max. It is always suggested to include lots of fresh fruits, nuts, salads and liquids in your diet to keep you hydrated and filled during the fasting hours.

Today I have a yummy plus healthy salad recipe rich in protein. All the beans can be sprouted overnight and mix with some chopped veggies to make an instant Iftar menu. Usually, I make this for breakfast along with a glass of fresh orange juice. Try using variety of beans and veggies for this recipe. You can even saute the sprouted beans in little oil to make it more crunchy before mixing in the chopped veggies.
