Dairy Free Broccoli Sprout Avocado Cups with Turmeric-Cumin Dressing
Creamy avocado halves become edible bowls packed with crisp broccoli sprouts, cool cucumber, and paper-thin radish slices — it's a combination that looks stunning on a plate and tastes even better than it looks. The real star is the turmeric-cumin dressing, a bright, lightly emulsified blend of fresh lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil warmed with ginger and black pepper that ties every element together. Because every single ingredient here is naturally plant-based, there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a label — this dish is effortlessly free of dairy from the ground up. The whole thing comes together in minutes: whisk the dressing, toss the vegetables, spoon everything into the avocado cavities, and drizzle. Optional pumpkin seeds add a satisfying crunch, and a scatter of fresh cilantro lifts the whole bowl with a little herbal brightness. It works beautifully as a light lunch, an elegant starter, or a side dish that makes any table look like you actually tried.
