Lupin Free Broccoli Sprout Salad with Lemon & Garlic
Bright, peppery broccoli sprouts meet cool cucumber and crisp radishes in a salad that feels genuinely refreshing rather than like a reluctant health obligation. The dressing is a simple whisk of good olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic — nothing processed, nothing mysterious, just clean flavors that let the vegetables do the talking. Letting the dressing rest for a few minutes before tossing is a small step that makes a real difference, softening the raw edge of the garlic so it blends into the citrus beautifully. Lupin flour and lupin-derived ingredients have quietly crept into a surprising number of packaged dressings and salad kits, so making your own from scratch here is genuinely the smarter move. Every ingredient in this bowl is naturally free of that concern, which means you can focus entirely on how good it tastes. A scatter of raw pumpkin seeds on top adds a subtle crunch and a little extra richness if you want it. This is the kind of salad that comes together in minutes and still manages to feel like something you'd order at a restaurant.
