Paleo Broccoli Sprout Salad with Lemon & Garlic
Broccoli sprouts are one of those ingredients that look delicate but pack a serious nutritional punch, and this salad lets them shine without any fuss. Crisp cucumber and peppery radishes add texture and color, while a bright lemon-garlic dressing ties everything together in the most satisfying way. The dressing gets a quick five-minute rest so the raw garlic mellows into the olive oil and lemon juice — a small step that makes a noticeable difference in flavor. Everything here is completely grain-free, legume-free, and built from whole, unprocessed ingredients, so it fits naturally into an ancestral eating approach without any substitutions or workarounds. A scatter of raw pumpkin seeds on top adds a subtle crunch and rounds out the bowl beautifully. It comes together in minutes and is best served right away while the sprouts are still fresh and lively.
