BHA & BHT Free Smoked Salmon Lettuce Cups with Avocado & Cucumber

These elegant little cups are everything you want in a light, fresh meal — silky smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber all nestled in tender butter lettuce leaves. The bright lemon and olive oil dressing ties it all together without relying on any packaged sauces or bottled condiments that commonly sneak in synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable, from the fresh dill and chives to the squeeze of lemon at the end. That matters more than it might seem, because smoked and cured fish products are a category where additive-heavy dressings and pre-made accompaniments often show up uninvited. By making the dressing yourself with just olive oil, lemon juice, zest, sea salt, and pepper, you stay completely in control of what goes on the plate. The result is something that looks genuinely impressive on a platter but comes together with almost no effort — just a little chopping, a quick whisk, and a beautiful assembly. Serve these at a casual lunch, a weekend brunch, or as a starter that disappears before you even sit down.
