These little lettuce cups are fresh, vibrant, and genuinely exciting to eat — the kind of dish that looks like it came from a trendy café but comes together in minutes with nothing more than a cutting board and a whisk. Crisp butter lettuce leaves cradle a tangle of broccoli sprouts, cool julienned cucumber, and creamy avocado, all tied together with a zippy lime-ginger dressing that hits every note at once. The dressing itself is a simple emulsion of fresh lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, raw honey, and grated ginger — no grains, no refined sugars, nothing that would throw off a clean eating approach. Broccoli sprouts can be tricky to work into meals in a way that actually tastes good, but tossed in that bright citrus dressing alongside silky avocado, they're completely irresistible. A handful of pumpkin seeds scattered on top adds a satisfying crunch and a little extra staying power. This is the kind of recipe that proves eating this way doesn't mean sacrificing flavor or fun — it just means being a little more intentional about what goes on the plate. Serve immediately so the lettuce stays crisp and the avocado stays gorgeous.
