4 servings
For the salad
- 1 bunch curly kale (about 8 oz), stems removed, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups small broccoli florets (about ½ medium head)
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions (green tops only), thinly sliced
- ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the torn kale in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle 1 tbsp of the olive oil and a pinch of salt over the leaves, then massage firmly with both hands for 2–3 minutes until the leaves darken, soften noticeably, and reduce in volume by about half.

Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the sunflower seeds and toast, stirring frequently, for 3–4 minutes until golden and fragrant — watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Transfer immediately to a plate to cool.
