Instructions
Rinse the sprouted mung beans under cold water to clean them, then set aside to drain.

Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into a small mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin seeds to the lime juice, whisking to form a dressing.
Finely chop the green chili, removing seeds if less heat is desired, and add it to the dressing mix.
Combine the sprouted mung beans with the vegetable mixture in the large bowl.
