Carrageenan Free Lime Broccoli Sprout Cups

Crisp butter lettuce leaves stand in for any processed wrapper here, making these fresh little cups as clean and vibrant as a dish can get. The filling layers peppery broccoli sprouts with cool julienned cucumber, creamy avocado, and bright cilantro — textures and flavors that genuinely complement each other without needing anything fussy. A quick homemade dressing of fresh lime juice, olive oil, grated ginger, honey, and sea salt ties everything together in seconds, and because you're whisking it yourself, there's no reason to reach for a bottled dressing that might contain hidden thickeners or stabilizers. That matters a lot when you're avoiding carrageenan, which sneaks into a surprising number of store-bought dressings and dairy-adjacent products under names that don't exactly announce themselves on the label. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — nothing processed, nothing to second-guess. A scatter of pumpkin seeds on top adds a satisfying crunch if you want it. Serve these right away so the lettuce stays crisp and the avocado stays gorgeous.
