This bright, crunchy salad is the kind of thing that makes you feel genuinely good after eating it — light, fresh, and packed with flavor without a single heavy ingredient. Broccoli sprouts bring a peppery bite that pairs beautifully with cool cucumber and crisp radishes, while the lemon-garlic dressing ties everything together with a sharp, zesty punch. Because the entire dish is built on whole vegetables and a simple olive oil base, there's nothing here that could sneak in hidden dairy — no creamy dressings, no cheese, no butter, just clean and vibrant ingredients from start to finish. The trick of letting the dressing rest for five minutes before tossing is a small step that makes a real difference, softening the raw garlic just enough so it blends into the lemon and oil rather than overpowering everything. A scatter of raw pumpkin seeds on top adds a satisfying crunch and a little extra nutrition if you want it. This is the kind of salad that works as a quick weekday lunch or an elegant starter when you want something impressive without much effort.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is uniform and slightly emulsified.
Let the dressing sit for 5 minutes so the garlic mellows slightly into the lemon and oil.
