Soy Free Basil-Parsley Romaine Cups with Apple

These fresh, herb-forward lettuce cups are the kind of dish that looks impressive on a platter but comes together with almost no effort. Crisp romaine leaves cradle a bright filling of finely diced apple, shredded carrot, and a generous handful of both basil and flat-leaf parsley — a combination that's aromatic, a little sweet, and genuinely satisfying. The dressing is a simple whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and raw honey that ties everything together with just the right balance of tang and sweetness. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from soy, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. Toasted pumpkin seeds scattered over the top add a nutty crunch that takes the whole thing up a notch. This is the kind of recipe that works equally well as a light lunch, a starter for a dinner party, or a snack you can pull together on a weeknight without breaking a sweat. Serve immediately so the romaine stays crisp and the herbs stay vibrant.
