This fresh salad with berries, tender butter lettuce, and toasted sunflower seeds reminded me of the season as soon as I took my first bite. It's super simple, but super yum.
I added some organic chicken that was lightly seared, but you could choose to add fish for another lighter protein option or opt out of meat completely.
Lovely. A delicious salad that's easy to make and gives you options. Just, lovely.
serves 3-4
1-2 heads of butter lettuce, washed and chopped
3/4 cup radicchio, washed and chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

2 cups strawberries, trimmed and sliced
1 medium Fuji apple, cored and thinly sliced (I cut the slices in half, too)
1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds, shelled
1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and toss well to distribute everything evenly. Dress with honey-orange vinaigrette (recipe as follows).
