Eggless Basil-Parsley Romaine Cups with Apple

These bright, fresh lettuce cups are the kind of appetizer or light meal that disappears from the platter before you even sit down. Crisp romaine leaves act as natural vessels for a vibrant filling of sweet diced apple, fragrant basil, flat-leaf parsley, and shredded carrot — a combination that hits every note of crunchy, herby, and refreshing all at once. The simple dressing of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of raw honey pulls everything together with just the right balance of tang and sweetness. Because the whole dish is built around fresh produce and a clean vinaigrette, there's nothing to swap or worry about — it's naturally free of eggs without any substitutions required. Toasted pumpkin seeds scattered on top add a satisfying nuttiness and a little extra texture that takes the whole thing up a notch. Serve these immediately after assembling so the romaine stays crisp and the filling stays lively. They're equally at home as a party starter, a weekday lunch, or a colorful side alongside something heartier.
