Rinse and drain the sprouted mung beans thoroughly, and set aside.

Finely chop half a small red onion and fresh cilantro, adding them both to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl.
