Tree Nut Free Smoky Paprika Buckwheat and Roasted Beet Salad

Earthy roasted beets, peppery arugula, creamy avocado, and crunchy toasted buckwheat come together in a salad that feels genuinely special without requiring much fuss. The smoked paprika and cumin dressing is the real star here — whisked together with fresh lemon juice, honey, and grated garlic, it adds a warm, slightly smoky depth that ties every component together beautifully. Toasting the raw buckwheat groats in a dry skillet before adding them to the bowl is a small step that makes a big difference, coaxing out a nutty, almost popcorn-like flavor and a satisfying crunch. Pumpkin seeds add even more texture and richness, so every forkful has something going on. This is the kind of salad that actually holds its own as a main course, not just a side. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it just works as written.
