Yeast Free Lime Broccoli Sprout Cups
These bright, fresh lettuce cups are the kind of dish that looks like it came from a trendy café but comes together in minutes with zero cooking required. Crisp butter lettuce leaves cradle a vibrant 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. Because everything here is built from whole, unprocessed ingredients, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden fermented additives or worry about yeast sneaking in through packaged sauces or condiments. The dressing is whisked together from scratch — fresh lime juice, olive oil, raw honey, ginger, and sea salt — so you stay completely in control of what goes in. Pumpkin seeds scattered on top add a satisfying crunch and a little extra nutrition if you want them. This is the kind of light, energizing meal that works beautifully as a starter, a side, or a no-fuss lunch when you want something clean and genuinely delicious.
