These fresh, vibrant lettuce cups are the kind of light meal that feels indulgent without working against your wellness goals. Silky smoked salmon, creamy diced avocado, and cool cucumber come together in crisp butter lettuce leaves for a combination that's genuinely satisfying and full of texture. The bright lemon and olive oil dressing keeps things clean and simple — no vinegars, added sugars, or fermented condiments that can be tricky to navigate on a candida-conscious eating plan. Fresh dill and chives add a punch of herby flavor that makes the whole dish feel restaurant-worthy with almost no effort. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, you're not left squinting at labels or second-guessing what's hiding in a bottled sauce. Optional capers add a briny pop if you're at a stage where you tolerate them, and a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end ties everything together beautifully. Serve these immediately after assembling and they make an impressive, no-fuss lunch or starter that genuinely doesn't feel like you're missing out on anything.
