Wheat Free Romaine Avocado Lime Salad
Crisp romaine, creamy avocado, and cool cucumber come together in a salad that feels genuinely refreshing — the kind of bowl you actually look forward to eating. The lime-cumin dressing is bright and tangy, whisked together in minutes from pantry staples that are naturally free of wheat and grain-based fillers. That matters more than you might think, since bottled dressings are a surprisingly common source of hidden gluten through additives and thickeners. Here, every ingredient is whole and straightforward, so there's no label-reading anxiety involved. Thinly sliced radishes add a peppery crunch, cilantro brings a fresh herbal lift, and a handful of pumpkin seeds on top gives the whole thing a satisfying, nutty finish. It comes together fast, looks beautiful on the table, and works just as well as a light lunch as it does alongside a bigger meal.
