Caffeine Free Romaine Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp romaine, creamy avocado, and cool cucumber come together in a salad that feels genuinely refreshing — the kind of bowl you want to eat on a warm afternoon or alongside something spicy off the grill. The lime-forward dressing is bright and tangy, with a whisper of cumin that ties everything together without overpowering the fresh vegetables. Thinly sliced radishes add a satisfying crunch and a pop of color, while cilantro and optional pumpkin seeds give the whole thing a little extra personality. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of stimulants, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — this one just works as written. The dressing comes together in minutes with a quick whisk, and the salad itself is assembled in one large bowl, making cleanup almost as easy as the prep. Serve it immediately after adding the avocado so everything stays vibrant and the greens hold their texture.
