Brazil Nut Free Romaine Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp romaine, creamy avocado, and cool cucumber come together in a salad that feels fresh and vibrant without requiring much effort at all. The lime-cumin dressing is the real star here — bright, tangy, and just bold enough to pull every element together into something that tastes far more exciting than a simple green salad has any right to be. Thinly sliced radishes add a satisfying crunch and a pop of color, while fresh cilantro keeps things lively and aromatic. Because every ingredient is whole and naturally sourced, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden tree nut derivatives or worry about cross-contact from packaged dressings. The avocado goes on last, draped over the dressed greens so it stays beautiful and intact right up until serving. If you want a little extra texture, a scatter of pumpkin seeds finishes the bowl perfectly. This one is easy enough for a weeknight but impressive enough to bring to the table when you have company.
