These bright, fresh lettuce cups are the kind of dish that looks like it took serious effort but comes together in just a few minutes of simple prep. Crisp butter lettuce leaves act as edible bowls, cradling a vibrant tangle of broccoli sprouts, julienned cucumber, creamy avocado, and fresh cilantro — a combination that's as beautiful on a platter as it is satisfying to eat. The dressing is where everything really sings: fresh lime juice, olive oil, grated ginger, and a touch of raw honey create a zippy, lightly sweet vinaigrette that ties every element together. Because the entire recipe is built around whole vegetables, fresh herbs, and a from-scratch dressing, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess packaged ingredients for hidden grains. Broccoli sprouts bring a subtle peppery bite that plays perfectly against the cool cucumber and buttery avocado slices. A scatter of pumpkin seeds on top adds a satisfying crunch and makes the whole thing feel a little more substantial. Serve these immediately after assembling so the lettuce stays crisp and the avocado stays fresh and vibrant.
