These little lettuce cups are bright, fresh, and genuinely exciting to eat — the kind of dish that looks impressive on a platter but comes together with almost no effort. Crisp butter lettuce cradles a tangle of broccoli sprouts, cool julienned cucumber, and creamy avocado, all tied together with a zippy lime and ginger dressing that hits every note at once. The dressing itself is a simple whisk of lime juice, olive oil, honey, and sea salt, so there's nothing complicated standing between you and something that tastes like it came from a trendy café. Because the whole recipe is built around fresh produce and a clean vinaigrette, it's naturally free of eggs without any substitutions or workarounds needed. Broccoli sprouts bring a mild, peppery bite that pairs beautifully with the richness of the avocado, and a handful of pumpkin seeds on top adds just enough crunch to make every bite interesting. These are best served right after assembling so the lettuce stays crisp and the avocado stays vibrant — which also makes them a great option for a quick lunch or a crowd-pleasing starter.
