Almond Free Smoked Salmon Lettuce Cups with Avocado & Cucumber

These lettuce cups are the kind of appetizer that looks like you spent way more effort than you actually did. Silky smoked salmon, creamy diced avocado, and cool cucumber come together in crisp butter lettuce leaves, all tied together with a bright lemon and olive oil dressing that genuinely elevates every bite. Fresh dill and chives add a pop of herby flavor, and a handful of capers on top brings just enough briny punch to make things interesting. The whole assembly is naturally free from tree nuts — every ingredient here is straightforward and clean, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden nut-based oils sneaking into the mix. Butter lettuce makes the perfect edible vessel: sturdy enough to hold the filling but tender enough to eat in one or two bites without making a mess. This is the kind of dish that works equally well as a party starter or a light, satisfying lunch you can throw together in minutes.
