Hazelnut Free Romaine Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp romaine, creamy avocado, and cool cucumber come together in a salad that feels fresh and vibrant from the very first bite. The zesty lime dressing — built with fresh citrus juice, a splash of apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a hint of cumin — ties everything together with a bright, slightly smoky tang. Thinly sliced radishes add a satisfying crunch and a pop of color, while fresh cilantro lifts the whole bowl with herby fragrance. Tree nut allergies can make store-bought dressings and salad kits a minefield, but every single ingredient here is naturally free of hazelnut and hazelnut-derived oils, so you can toss and serve with total confidence. The avocado slices go on last to keep them looking gorgeous, and an optional handful of pumpkin seeds adds extra texture without any nut concerns. It comes together in minutes with just a whisk and a large bowl — no cooking required, no stress involved.
