Method
 

Prep the veggies.
  1. Wash and dry the lettuce, celery, and apple. Slice the celery, apple, and avocado.
Make the dressing.
  1. In a small jar or bowl, combine the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon Mustard, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Shake or whisk until it’s smooth and well mixed.
Combine the salad ingredients.
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the lettuce, sliced celery, apple, avocado, sunflower seeds, feta cheese, dried cranberries, and red onion.
Dress and serve.
  1. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything. Serve right away to enjoy the fresh crunch.

Notes

  • This salad is great for using up fresh veggies from your garden.
  • The dressing is light and tangy, but you can adjust the honey for more sweetness.
  • Be sure to pat the lettuce dry after washing to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
