Oats Free Cilantro-Lime Arugula and Roasted Beet Salad

Earthy roasted beets, creamy avocado, and peppery baby arugula come together in a salad that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy without a lot of fuss. The beets are foil-roasted until tender and caramelized at the edges, then sliced into wedges that practically melt against the crisp greens. A bright cilantro-lime dressing — built with fresh lime juice, a touch of honey, and ground cumin — ties every element together with a bold, zesty punch. Crunchy dry-roasted pepitas finish the whole thing off, adding texture and a subtle nuttiness that makes each bite more satisfying than the last. This is the kind of salad that works just as well as a light lunch as it does alongside a bigger spread, and every single ingredient here is naturally free of grains, so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out. People who need to avoid oats often find grain-free eating tricky when it comes to satisfying, filling dishes — but the avocado and pepitas here bring enough richness and staying power to make this feel like a real meal. Whisk the dressing while the beets are still in the oven and you'll have everything ready to assemble the moment they cool.
