Honey Free Gluten Free Caprese Antipasto Cups
Fresh mozzarella, juicy cherry tomatoes, and torn basil are a classic combination for a reason — bright, creamy, and deeply satisfying in every bite. Here, that beloved trio gets spooned into crisp butter lettuce cups for a handheld appetizer that feels effortlessly elegant. The dressing is a simple whisk of extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze, which means no hidden sweeteners or additives to second-guess — just clean, bold flavor. Optional prosciutto and Kalamata olives add a savory, briny depth that takes the whole thing to the next level. Everything comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it perfect for entertaining without the stress. The lettuce cups hold their shape beautifully and keep things light, so guests can grab one without needing a fork or plate.
