In a large mixing bowl, combine the salad greens, shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, diced red bell pepper, and sliced cucumber.

Step 2

Add the roasted sunflower seeds, sliced green onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl for a crunchy and fresh boost.

Step 3

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.
