Walnut 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 complicated step. The cumin-lime dressing is the real star here — just a quick whisk of citrus, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and warm spice that ties every element together beautifully. Thinly sliced radishes add a satisfying peppery crunch, while fresh cilantro keeps the whole bowl bright and herbaceous. If you want a little extra texture, a scatter of pumpkin seeds on top does the job perfectly. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-reading stress or ingredient swapping required — just clean, whole foods from start to finish. It comes together in minutes and is best served right away, while the avocado is still silky and the greens are perfectly dressed.
