A Crunchy Rainbow Salad with Citrus-Shallot Vinaigrette Recipe (Full recipe in description.)

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: goat cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Goat cheese offers a tangy flavor, while cottage cheese is more budget-friendly.

sunflower seeds

🥗Healthier: pumpkin seeds

💰Cheaper: peanuts

Pumpkin seeds are nutrient-dense, and peanuts are often less expensive.

In a large salad bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the citrus juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional pepperoncini juice. Add the shallots and let the vinaigrette marinate while preparing the salad.

Add the sliced cabbage, cucumbers, celery, radish, and optional pepperoncini and olives to the large bowl and toss in the dressing. Allow the mix to sit for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors.

Just before serving, toss in the lettuce and oranges. Top with crumbled cheese and chopped nuts.
