Seed Oil Free Gluten Free Caprese Antipasto Cups
These little lettuce cups are a stunning appetizer that feels fancy without requiring any real effort. Fresh mozzarella, juicy cherry tomatoes, and torn basil come together in a classic Italian combination, with optional prosciutto and Kalamata olives adding savory depth for those who want it. The dressing is simply extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze — no canola, no sunflower, no mystery blends — which is exactly what makes this such a clean, confident choice for anyone avoiding industrially processed seed oils. Butter lettuce leaves do double duty as both vessel and ingredient, keeping things light and naturally gluten free without any specialty swaps or substitutions. Everything gets tossed together and spooned into the cups, so the whole thing comes together in minutes. Serve them at a dinner party, a summer gathering, or honestly just a Tuesday night when you want something that looks like you tried harder than you did.
