High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Romaine Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp romaine, creamy avocado, and cool cucumber come together in a salad that feels fresh and vibrant without a single processed ingredient in sight. The dressing is the real star here — fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of cumin whisk into something bright and tangy that coats every leaf beautifully. Because everything is made from scratch, you sidestep the sneaky sweeteners that show up in so many bottled dressings and store-bought vinaigrettes. Thinly sliced radishes add a peppery crunch, cilantro brings an herby lift, and the avocado slices layered on top make the whole bowl look genuinely stunning. A handful of pumpkin seeds scattered over the top adds a satisfying nuttiness if you want a little extra texture. It comes together in minutes and works just as well as a light lunch as it does alongside grilled chicken or fish for dinner.
