2 cups mixed salad greens (like baby spinach, romaine, or arugula)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 cup yellow bell pepper, diced

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned, drained)

1/4 cup sunflower seeds (for a crunchy topping)

For the Dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

Wash the Veggies: Start by rinsing all the fresh vegetables under cold water. This ensures they are clean and ready for deliciousness!

    Chop and Prep: In a large mixing bowl, add the salad greens as the base. Next, toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, yellow bell pepper, shredded carrots, and corn kernels.

      Add Crunch: If you’re using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the salad. Follow with sunflower seeds for a delightful crunch.

        Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey (or maple syrup). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

          Toss and Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients without squishing the vegetables.
