Sunflower seeds are often less expensive and provide a nice crunch.

Chop carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale into coarsely chopped small pieces using a Vitamix.

Fill the Vitamix container with small-sized pieces, avoiding anything larger than the palm of your hand, except for whole carrot sticks.

Use Variable Speed One and the pulse button to chop the vegetables, preventing over-processing.

Use a tamper to help mix the vegetables while chopping.

Once everything is coarsely chopped, mix it all together in a bowl.

For the dressing, combine a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar, one avocado, half a peeled lemon, half a peeled lime, two tablespoons of fresh ginger, a date, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender.

Blend the dressing until smooth and set aside.

Alternatively, for a shortcut dressing, mix sunflower seeds, raisins, and equal parts balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.

Serve the salad with the dressing on the side to prevent it from getting soggy.

Add chickpeas for protein if desired.
