Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and maple syrup until fully combined.
Set aside.
Prep the Radish Slaw: Cut the radishes into thin, matchstick-like julienne strips.
Add the radishes and minced chives to the bowl with the lime dressing and toss gently to coat.
Slice the Mango: Cut the mango halves lengthwise into thin, elegant slices.
Assemble the Cups: Carefully arrange a few slices of mango into each lettuce leaf. You can place them on a large platter for sharing or on individual appetizer plates.
Garnish and Serve: Top the mango with a spoonful of the radish mixture.
Finish with a few grinds of fresh black pepper and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Add a Little Heat: For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely minced jalapeño to the lime dressing.
Lettuce Swaps: If you can't find Boston lettuce, crisp iceberg cups or endive spears also work beautifully as a vessel for the filling.
