Brazil Nut Free Lemon-Dill Mini Lettuce Wraps
Bright, herby, and refreshingly light, these little wraps are the kind of appetizer or lunch that disappears fast. The filling comes together with shredded chicken, crisp cucumber, and celery, all tossed in a zesty lemon-dill dressing that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. Ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that plays beautifully against the fresh citrus, while the chives and dill keep every bite tasting garden-fresh. Butter lettuce leaves stand in for any kind of bread or wrap, making the whole thing naturally grain-free and wonderfully crisp. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source without any concern about hidden tree nut contamination — no specialty labels required, just clean, whole foods. Serve them on a platter with a little extra lemon zest scattered on top and they look genuinely stunning for a crowd.
