Low Iodine Lime Broccoli Sprout Cups

Bright, fresh, and genuinely satisfying, these lettuce cups are the kind of dish that looks impressive on a platter but comes together with almost no effort. Butter lettuce leaves cradle a vibrant filling of broccoli sprouts, crisp cucumber, and creamy avocado — a combination that hits every texture you want in a light meal or starter. The dressing is where things really sing: fresh lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, grated ginger, and a touch of raw honey create a zippy, slightly sweet vinaigrette that ties everything together beautifully. For anyone navigating a low-iodine approach, this recipe is a natural fit. Every ingredient here — the produce, the olive oil, the honey, the sea salt — falls comfortably within the guidelines, with no seafood, dairy, or iodized salt in sight. It's the kind of recipe where you don't have to do any mental gymnastics or swap anything out; it just works as written. The optional pumpkin seeds add a satisfying crunch without complicating things. Serve these immediately after assembling so the lettuce stays crisp and the avocado stays gorgeous.
