AIP Friendly Lemon-Dill Mini Lettuce Wraps
These bright, fresh wraps are the kind of no-fuss meal that somehow still feels a little fancy — perfect for a light lunch or a crowd-pleasing appetizer spread. Tender shredded chicken gets tossed with crisp cucumber, celery, fragrant fresh dill, and chives, then dressed in a zippy lemon-olive oil vinaigrette with a hint of ground ginger. Every bite lands in a cool butter lettuce cup, giving you that satisfying crunch without any grains or legumes in sight. Sticking to the autoimmune protocol can feel restrictive when it comes to flavorful, satisfying food, but this recipe proves that clean ingredients don't have to mean boring ones. The dressing relies on freshly squeezed lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil — no nightshades, no eggs, no seed-based oils — so it checks every box without any workarounds or substitutions. It comes together in minutes with just a bowl and a whisk, making it genuinely weeknight-friendly. Serve it straight away so the lettuce stays crisp and the filling stays bright and glistening.
