Method

You’ll need: chopping board · knife · mixing bowl

1. Rinse the broccoli sprouts in cold water and chop them roughly. Then leave them to rest briefly.
2. Peel the black radish and slice it thinly. That makes it fine enough for the raw salad.
3. Whisk the pumpkin oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard and coarse sea salt in a bowl to make a punchy dressing.
4. Lay the radish slices out on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Scatter the broccoli sprouts on top.
5. Sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds and finish everything with the dressing.
6. Serve straight away, so the radish and sprouts stay crunchy and the pumpkin oil keeps its full flavour.

Good to know

This salad is clear, spicy and pleasantly bitter. It feels light but still has depth and bite. Just right when you want something fresh with character.

Swaps

Pumpkin oil → extra virgin olive oil (more monounsaturated fatty acids, easy for everyday cooking and more stable against oxidation) Dijon mustard → freshly grated horseradish (simpler ingredient list, strong heat, goes well with radish and sprouts) Styrian pumpkin seed butter/paste → avocado (more fibre, creamy texture, provides potassium) Black radish → radishes or daikon (milder, still crunchy and fresh)

Allergens

The recipe contains mustard as an allergen. Black radish and mustard often taste too sharp for children, and during pregnancy raw sprouts are best avoided – only eat them thoroughly heated.

Frequently asked questions

What's in broccoli sprouts nutritionally?

Broccoli sprouts contain vitamin C, vitamin K and glucosinolates as plant compounds. They also give the sprouts their slightly sharp, mustardy note.

What nutrients do pumpkin seeds provide?

Pumpkin seeds bring magnesium, zinc, iron, fibre and some protein. They also contain unsaturated fatty acids, which are found in pumpkin oil too.

Does raw black radish agree with everyone?

It varies from person to person. Raw black radish can be quite sharp and intense, especially for sensitive stomachs or if brassicas don't agree with you.

What's special about Styrian pumpkin oil?

It mainly provides unsaturated fatty acids and, thanks to the seeds, has a very distinctive, nutty flavour. The darker and stronger the oil, the more it shapes the taste of the salad.

Is cider vinegar suitable for everyone?

Not necessarily. Cider vinegar is acidic and can be unpleasant with a sensitive stomach, reflux or an irritated mouth, even though small amounts usually blend in well.
