Crisp romaine, creamy avocado, and cool cucumber come together in a salad that feels genuinely refreshing — the kind of thing you want to eat straight from the bowl before it even makes it to the table. The lime-cumin dressing is bright and a little tangy, with just enough olive oil to make everything silky without weighing it down. Radishes add a satisfying crunch and a pop of color, while fresh cilantro keeps every bite lively. Lupin, a legume increasingly found in gluten-free flours, pasta blends, and even some salad dressings, is completely absent here — every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. The whole thing comes together with a quick whisk and a gentle toss, making it as practical as it is pretty. Finish with the optional pumpkin seeds for extra texture, and serve immediately so the avocado stays vibrant and the greens stay crisp.
