Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salad greens, shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, diced red bell pepper, and sliced cucumber.
Add the roasted sunflower seeds, sliced green onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl for a crunchy and fresh boost.
To make the dressing, whisk together the avocado oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl or mason jar until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately as a main course or side dish. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day, but note that the salad may lose some of its crunch.
