Gluten Free Romaine Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp romaine, cool cucumber, and creamy avocado come together in a salad that feels genuinely refreshing — the kind of bowl you actually look forward to eating. The cumin-lime dressing is the real star here, whisked together with apple cider vinegar and olive oil into something bright, tangy, and just a little earthy. Thin-sliced radishes add a satisfying crunch and a pop of color, while fresh cilantro keeps every bite lively. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of gluten, so there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a label — it just works as written. A scatter of pumpkin seeds on top adds a subtle nuttiness and extra texture if you want to take it up a notch. Serve it immediately after dressing so the romaine stays crisp and the avocado looks its best.
