Ingredients
Mixed baby greens 5 cups (loosely packed)
Sunflower seeds 2 tablespoons
Savory crisp topping 1/4 cup (crumbled, e.g., plant-based crisps or smoked almonds)
Red onion 1/4 (thinly sliced)
Cucumber 1 (peeled and thinly sliced)
Dijon mustard 1/4 cup
Honey 1/4 cup
Apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup
Salt 1 teaspoon
Black pepper 1/4 teaspoon
Extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup
Instructions
Prepare the dressing by combining Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a jar. Shake until emulsified.
In a separate bowl, toss mixed baby greens with sunflower seeds, savory crisp topping, soaked or raw red onion, and cucumber.
Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Notes
Soak red onion slices in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce pungency if desired. For the savory crisp topping, use gluten-free alternatives like pumpkin seeds or roasted chickpeas. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
