¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup roasted sunflower seeds

½ cup fresh orange segments

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

    Combine Greens: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base.

      Add Fresh Ingredients: Layer in the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, bell pepper, radishes, and red onion on top of the greens to create a vibrant color contrast.

        Incorporate Proteins: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and roasted sunflower seeds over the salad for added texture and flavor.

            Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
