These bright, fresh little wraps are the kind of thing you want to make on a warm afternoon when you need something light but genuinely satisfying. Shredded chicken gets tossed with crisp cucumber, celery, fragrant dill, and chives, then dressed in a zippy lemon-olive oil vinaigrette with a hint of ground ginger that ties everything together beautifully. The dressing is whisked together from scratch — just olive oil, fresh lemon juice, zest, ginger, and sea salt — so there's no mystery about what's going in, and no hidden ingredients to worry about. Butter lettuce leaves act as the perfect edible vessel, adding a cool, tender crunch that makes each bite feel almost fancy without any real effort. This is the kind of recipe that works just as well for a casual lunch as it does laid out on a platter for guests. Everything comes together in one large bowl, and the assembly is as simple as spooning the filling and serving immediately while the lettuce stays crisp and fresh.
