Crisp romaine leaves stand in for any kind of wrapper or bread here, making these fresh, herb-loaded cups a genuinely satisfying bite that feels light without leaving you hungry. The filling is a bright mix of finely diced apple, shredded carrot, and a generous handful of both basil and flat-leaf parsley — sweet, herby, and a little earthy all at once. A quick dressing of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and raw honey ties everything together with just enough tang to balance the sweetness of the apple. Every single ingredient is clean and whole-food, so there's no need to scan labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. Toasted pumpkin seeds scattered over the top add a satisfying crunch and a subtle nuttiness that takes the whole thing up a notch. These cups come together fast and are ideal for a light lunch, a starter, or a crowd-pleasing appetizer that looks far more impressive than the effort involved.

Separate the romaine hearts into individual leaves, selecting the 10–12 largest, most cup-shaped leaves. Rinse and pat completely dry, then arrange on a serving platter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and sea salt until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
