Artificial Flavors Free Broccoli Sprout Avocado Cups with Turmeric-Cumin Dressing
These avocado cups are the kind of dish that looks like it came from a trendy café but comes together in minutes with nothing but whole, recognizable ingredients. Each avocado half becomes a natural bowl, filled with crisp broccoli sprouts, cool cucumber, and paper-thin radish slices that add a satisfying crunch. The real star is the turmeric-cumin dressing — a bright, earthy blend of fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and ground spices that gets whisked together in one small bowl and does serious flavor work without a single synthetic shortcut. Because every component here is a whole food or a pure ground spice, you never have to squint at a label wondering what "natural and artificial flavors" actually means. Optional cilantro and pumpkin seeds finish things off with a pop of color and a little extra texture. It's light enough to serve as a starter but substantial enough to stand on its own for a quick lunch.
