Fish Free Broccoli Sprout Avocado Cups with Turmeric-Cumin Dressing
Creamy avocado halves become edible bowls here, piled high with crisp broccoli sprouts, cool cucumber, and paper-thin radish slices for a dish that looks stunning with almost zero effort. The real star is the golden turmeric-cumin dressing — whisked together with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and a hint of ginger, it brings warm, earthy depth to every bright, crunchy bite. Because the whole recipe is built around fresh produce and pantry spices, there's no need to scan labels for hidden seafood derivatives or fish-based sauces that sneak into so many dressings. Everything here is straightforward and plant-forward, so you can serve it with total confidence. Optional pumpkin seeds add a satisfying little crunch on top, and a scatter of fresh cilantro lifts the whole thing with a pop of herby freshness. It comes together in minutes and works beautifully as a light lunch, a starter, or an impressive side that disappears fast.
