Wash and de-stem the kale, then chop it into thin strips. Place it in a large bowl.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and add it to the bowl with kale.
Peel and grate the carrots, and add them into the bowl.
Julienne the red bell pepper and add to the bowl as well.
Toast the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until they start to brown and become fragrant. Add them to the vegetable mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the kale slaw and toss everything together until well combined.
Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
