If preparing this salad ahead of time, don’t add the dressing, almonds, or sunflower seeds until you’re ready to serve it. The salt in the dressing will soften the other ingredients, and the nuts and seeds won’t be as crunchy. Combine all the ingredients, except the sunflower seeds, in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle 2 tsp. of toasted sunflower seeds over the top of each serving.
