Mold Detox Friendly Broccoli Sprout Salad with Lemon & Garlic
Broccoli sprouts are one of the most celebrated foods for supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways, and this crisp, vibrant salad puts them front and center. Thinly sliced cucumber and radishes add satisfying crunch and a peppery bite, while a simple dressing of fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and minced garlic ties everything together with bright, clean flavor. The garlic is given a few minutes to mellow into the lemon and oil before it ever hits the greens, which makes the dressing noticeably smoother and more balanced. Every ingredient here is whole, unprocessed, and chosen with intention — no hidden additives, fermented components, or anything that tends to cause problems when you're working to clear your system. A small handful of raw pumpkin seeds scattered on top adds a subtle nuttiness and a little extra nutrition if you want it. This comes together in under ten minutes and serves four, making it an easy weekday lunch or a light starter that doesn't require any compromise.

4 servings
For the salad
- 4 cups broccoli sprouts
- 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- ¼ cup thinly sliced radishes
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced or pressed
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For serving
- 1 tsp raw pumpkin seeds (optional)
