Pescatarian Cilantro-Lime Romaine & Chickpea Salad

Bright, zesty, and packed with texture, this salad is the kind of bowl that makes you genuinely excited about eating your greens. Crispy oven-roasted chickpeas seasoned with cumin and smoked paprika do the heavy lifting here, adding a satisfying crunch that makes the whole thing feel like a real meal rather than a side dish. The cilantro-lime dressing — built from fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, garlic, and a touch of honey — ties everything together with a punchy, herbaceous kick that coats every leaf beautifully. Creamy diced avocado, cool cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion round out the romaine base for a combination that hits every note at once. Optional pumpkin seeds add even more crunch if you want to lean into the texture game. Everything in this recipe is naturally plant-forward and free of meat, so it fits a pescatarian lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds required. Make it for a weeknight dinner, a weekend lunch, or anywhere you need something fresh that actually fills you up.
