These fresh, vibrant little cups are the kind of appetizer or light lunch that looks impressive on a platter but comes together in minutes with zero cooking required. Crisp butter lettuce leaves cradle a tangle of broccoli sprouts, cool julienned cucumber, and creamy avocado slices, all tied together with a zippy lime and ginger dressing that genuinely makes you want to lick the bowl. The dressing is a simple whisk of fresh lime juice, olive oil, raw honey, and sea salt — bright, clean flavors that let the produce shine without any heavy sauces or hidden additives to worry about. For anyone navigating tree nut sensitivities, this recipe is naturally in the clear, relying on wholesome vegetables and a handful of pantry staples rather than any nut-based ingredients. The optional pumpkin seeds add a satisfying crunch and a little extra nutrition if you want them, but the cups hold their own beautifully without. Serve them immediately after assembling so the lettuce stays crisp and the avocado stays gorgeous — this is the kind of dish that disappears fast at a table.
