Nutmeg 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 an afterthought. The dressing is a simple emulsion of good olive oil and fresh lemon juice, sharpened with a clove of garlic that mellows beautifully after just five minutes of resting — a small step that makes a real difference in the final flavor. Everything here is clean and straightforward, which is exactly what makes it so easy to trust when you're avoiding hidden spice blends or pre-made dressings that can sneak in unexpected seasonings. You control every ingredient from start to finish, and none of them require a second look at the label. A handful of raw pumpkin seeds scattered on top adds a subtle crunch and makes the whole bowl feel a little more substantial. It comes together quickly, looks gorgeous on the plate, and is the kind of salad that actually makes you want to eat your greens.
