Beans Mung 8 ounces

100g (½ cup) dried green mung beans 

1 red pepper 

1 tomato 

1 avocado 

¼ cucumber 

5 spring onions 

5ml (1 tsp) sea salt 

2.5ml (½ tsp) black pepper 

2.5ml (½ tsp) ground cumin 

Pinch of red chilli powder 

Juice of ½ lime 

In a large bowl, soak the mung beans in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. The water should be about 2.5cm (1in) above the beans. 

When soaked, drain the water, place the mung beans in a steamer and steam for 30 minutes until soft. 

While the mung beans are steaming, chop the rest of the salad ingredients into small cubes and place in a serving dish. 

In order to make the salad dressing, mix the salt, pepper, cumin, chilli and lime in a small bowl. 

Remove the mung beans from the steamer, leave to cool and then add to the chopped salad. 

Add the dressing, toss to combine, and enjoy straight away.
