Oats Free Cilantro-Lime Romaine & Chickpea Salad

Crispy roasted chickpeas, creamy avocado, and a punchy cilantro-lime dressing come together in a salad that feels genuinely satisfying rather than an afterthought. The chickpeas get tossed with cumin and smoked paprika before hitting a hot oven, and the result is a golden, crunchy topping that holds its own against the cool, crisp romaine. Fresh lime juice, garlic, and honey make the dressing bright and balanced — the kind you'll want to drizzle on everything else in your fridge. Cherry tomatoes and cucumber keep every bite juicy, while thinly sliced red onion adds just enough bite to keep things interesting. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, this one is naturally built around whole vegetables and legumes, so there's nothing to swap or second-guess — every ingredient is exactly what it says it is. Pumpkin seeds scattered on top add a satisfying finishing crunch if you want to take it one step further. It's the kind of salad that converts skeptics.
