Pork Free Romaine Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp romaine, cool cucumber, and buttery avocado come together in a salad that feels genuinely refreshing — the kind of bowl you want to eat straight from the serving dish. A bright lime and cumin dressing ties everything together with a citrusy, lightly smoky kick that makes even the simplest ingredients taste intentional. Thinly sliced radishes add a satisfying crunch and a pop of color, while fresh cilantro keeps every bite lively. The whole thing is built entirely from vegetables, olive oil, and pantry spices, so there's nothing to second-guess when it comes to keeping your meal free from pork or any animal-derived surprises. Pumpkin seeds scattered on top add a nutty, toasty finish if you want a little extra texture. It comes together quickly with just a whisk and a toss, making it an easy go-to for weeknight dinners or a crowd-pleasing side at any gathering. Serve it immediately so the avocado stays vibrant and the romaine holds its satisfying crispness.
