Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed Salad Greens
- 1 cup Grape Tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 0.25 cup Roasted Sunflower Seeds
- 0.5 cup Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the mixed salad greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Step 2
Slice the grape tomatoes in half. If the tomatoes are particularly large, you can quarter them for easier bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Step 4
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper. Slice the pepper into thin strips.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
Step 6
Sprinkle in the roasted sunflower seeds, which add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the salad.
Step 7
Drizzle the dairy-free ranch dressing over the top of the salad. Use as much or as little as you prefer for your taste.
Step 8
Season the salad with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, adding a simple yet essential touch of flavor.
Step 9
Toss the salad gently, ensuring each ingredient is coated in dressing and well-distributed throughout the dish.
Step 10
Serve the salad immediately for the freshest experience, or place it in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving if preparing in advance.
