- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ½ cup chopped cucumber
- ½ avocado, diced

Instructions
- Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the kale, red cabbage, carrots, broccoli, parsley, cucumber, avocado, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries if using, ensuring they are well distributed.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until fully blended and slightly emulsified.
- Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing for maximum flavor.
- Let flavors meld: Allow the salad to sit for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature or chilled, so the kale softens slightly and the flavors blend beautifully.
- Serve: Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing and healthy meal or side dish.
