Hazelnut Free Cilantro-Lime Romaine & Chickpea Salad

Crispy roasted chickpeas, creamy avocado, and a punchy cilantro-lime dressing come together in a salad that genuinely earns its place as a main course. The chickpeas get patted completely dry before hitting a hot oven, which is the move that transforms them from soft and forgettable into golden, crunchy little bites that hold up beautifully against the cool, crisp romaine. A simple whisked dressing of fresh lime juice, olive oil, garlic, honey, and a generous handful of chopped cilantro ties every element together with bright, zesty flavor. Cherry tomatoes and cucumber add juicy contrast, while thinly sliced red onion gives it just enough bite. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of hazelnuts and any nut-based ingredients — the optional crunch topper is pumpkin seeds, which are a seed rather than a nut and easy to swap out or skip entirely. Everything here is straightforward pantry and produce-aisle stuff, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden ingredients. It's the kind of salad that actually satisfies.
