Instructions
Begin by preparing the cruciferous vegetables. Rinse and chop the kale, removing any tough stems. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the red bell pepper. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale, shredded cabbage, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, sliced red bell pepper, diced avocado, and sliced green onions.
Add chopped cilantro and sunflower seeds to the bowl for an herby and nutty depth of flavor.
To make the dressing, in a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.
Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure that all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Keto Cruciferous Crunch Salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for enhanced flavors.
