How to make sprouts salad?

1.Take the beans/lentils of your choice. I prefer mung beans(green/brown) with black chickpeas(kale chane).You need to wash them and soak them in water for 8-12 hours.Depending on the weather you may see them starting to germinate at different times,so keep on checking on them every 6-8 hours.
