MSG Free Smoked Salmon Lettuce Cups with Avocado & Cucumber

These elegant little cups are a study in fresh, bright flavors — silky smoked salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber all nestled in tender butter lettuce and finished with a zippy lemon-herb dressing. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable, which is exactly what you want when you're avoiding hidden additives that sneak into so many packaged and restaurant foods. The dressing comes together with just olive oil, fresh lemon juice, zest, sea salt, and pepper — nothing processed, nothing suspicious. Fresh chives and dill bring an herby lift that makes the whole thing feel like something you'd order at a nice bistro, not just throw together at home. Because smoked salmon can sometimes come with seasoning blends that include flavor enhancers, it's worth checking the label for a clean, simply cured variety — the ingredient list should be short and straightforward. Serve these immediately after assembling and they're genuinely stunning, whether you're putting together a light lunch or an impressive appetizer spread.
