These fresh, vibrant lettuce cups are the kind of dish that looks like it took serious effort but comes together in minutes with nothing more than a whisk and a mixing bowl. Crisp butter lettuce leaves cradle a bright tangle of broccoli sprouts, cool julienned cucumber, and creamy avocado, all tied together with a zingy lime and ginger dressing that genuinely makes you want to lick the bowl. The dressing itself — fresh lime juice, olive oil, raw honey, and grated ginger — is light but punchy, coating every sprout and ribbon of cucumber in something that tastes like a farmers market in the best possible way. Tree nut allergies can make navigating dressings and toppings a real minefield, but every single ingredient here is naturally free of those concerns, with pumpkin seeds as the optional finishing crunch instead of anything risky. Avocado adds that satisfying richness that makes this feel like a real meal rather than a sad side salad. Serve these immediately after assembling so the lettuce stays crisp and the avocado stays gorgeous — they disappear fast at the table, so you may want to double the batch.
