Cinnamon Free Broccoli Sprout Salad with Lemon & Garlic
This bright, crunchy salad is the kind of thing that makes you feel good from the first bite — fresh broccoli sprouts piled high with cool cucumber and peppery radishes, all tossed in a zingy lemon-garlic dressing. The whole thing comes together in minutes with no cooking required, just a quick whisk and a gentle toss. That simple olive oil and lemon base lets every ingredient shine without any complicated flavors getting in the way, which is exactly what you want when you're keeping things clean and straightforward. A handful of raw pumpkin seeds on top adds a satisfying little crunch and makes it feel like something you'd order at a nice café. Because every component here is a whole, unprocessed ingredient, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess what's hiding in a bottled dressing. It's an effortless, feel-good dish that works as a light lunch, a starter, or a refreshing side alongside pretty much anything.
