Looks good, but in the ingredients list it says ⅓ cup "dry-roasted, unsalted". What is the missing ingredient?

I used this recipe to prep for lunches to take to work throughout the week. This salad is packed with so many flavors and vibrant colors that all work together--it was delicious! I will definitely make this again.
