Carrageenan Free Smoked Salmon Lettuce Cups with Avocado & Cucumber

These light, fresh lettuce cups are the kind of appetizer or light meal that looks impressive but comes together with almost no effort. Silky smoked salmon, creamy diced avocado, and cool cucumber nestle into crisp butter lettuce leaves, then get finished with a bright lemon-olive oil dressing and a shower of fresh chives and dill. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, which matters when you're avoiding the thickeners and stabilizers that sneak into so many packaged dressings, dairy products, and processed seafood items. By making the dressing yourself from olive oil, lemon juice, and zest, you stay completely in control of what goes into the dish. The result is clean, vibrant, and genuinely satisfying without any of the digestive concerns that can come with additive-heavy store-bought alternatives. Optional capers add a briny little punch, and a squeeze of fresh lemon at the table ties everything together beautifully. This one is equally at home as a party starter or a quick weekday lunch.
