Lettuce, Avocado and Sunflower Seed Salad

Good salad, not spectacular, but good and something different for a change.

Just made this salad last night. It was delicious and easy! I have a dairy allergy and it is difficult to find salads without some type of cheese. I am going to make this again this week-end for a party. I am going to use half bib lettuce and half greens because I thought the bib lettuce was a bit bitter. I am also going to add red onion and tomatoes for color. Yum.

Very good. I added grape tomatoes and bacon. Supper yummy. I think next time I will add the red onions as some of the reviewers suggested and a little sugar or honey to the dressing. Will definitely make this again!

This was just ok – a little bland. I’d like to give it another try with Dijon Mustard instead of mayo and perhaps adding some Gorgonzola cheese

I liked the dressing, and the sunflower seeds add a nice little crunch. This salad needs some color. Tomatoes, red onion would be good additions. Crisp bacon would be awesome too.

I added feta cheese. The whole family loved it!

this was delicious!! Fresh!

Pretty good. I did leave out the mayonnaise and garlic.

So simple yet so good! I used romaine and skipped the red wine vinegar and doubled the balsamic. Oh and skipped the mayo too.

I pulled this recipe for my young niece, who just recently started eating salad and veggies. I wanted something simple, as she thought that eating healthy was “too much trouble”. This recipe worked as a great example of “easy”, plus it was a great jumping point to show her how easy it is to modify dishes like this. While this is not what I would choose, I gave it 4 stars for ease, and for fitting my needs. It makes a great foundation for additions.

this salad was good but i thought that the dressing shouldve have had some sugar in it because when i made it it the dtressing was bitter, but i added some sugar and it was great. it was easy to make too! i would make it again.

This was an average salad–but I eat a lot of interesting salads, so it takes something special to make me say, “Wow!” I prefer darker greens, so I used romaine and spring mix (although I would have mixed in the Bibb if it hadn’t gone bad). Plus, I used sprouted sunflower seeds, which I love. After tasting the dressing, I added sea salt, pepper, and an extra splash of balsamic. I omitted the mayo because I don’t use it. I do plan to keep this one–it will be a good lunch salad for work: Mix the dressing ahead of time, toss the sunflower seeds on the lettuce, and bring the whole avocado to chop up at work. Next time, I’ll take a previous reviewer’s suggestion and use Dijon mustard.

We loved it, very interesting blend of flavours. Used a extra clove of garlic (natch) but next time will use less olive oil as I think one reviewer suggested. Also did not add salt as added salted, roasted sunflower seeds.

This was very good, though I did make the dressing differently. I used much less oil, balsamic vinegar only, dijon mustard, garlic, black pepper. I also added a tomato. I had it as a meal and it was very filling.

good decent salad. nothing special.

Great salad. I added sliced tomatoes and red onion to it. And I left the dressing on the side because my daughter would rather put ranch dressing on it. I served this with Chrismas dinner and the entire salad was gone.

This is one great tasting salad.

I love this salad! I used half green leaf lettuce and half bib lettuce, and I ended up giving the rest of my dinner to my husband so I could eat the salad. Definately worth the calories once and a while! My son didn’t like it at all, though.

Very good.
