Keto Bean Sprouts Salad. What in heaven’s name do you do with a big ole bag of beautiful white mung bean sprouts when you have purchased them and only needed a small amount? Most people let them sit in their refrigerator for 5-6 days while they turn to…but you don’t need to, not anymore. This recipe goes right from fresh leftover sprouts to a warm side dish or a cold salad-your choice. I think once you have had them you will be buying sprouts just to make this dish as it is that good. You might call keto bean sprouts salad a little side dish of Asia.
If you end up making (and I recommend it) the Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl, you will have leftover sprouts and now you know how to use them.
