Instructions
-
In a jar, combine the red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, sugar, salt, dry mustard, and minced garlic. Shake well until blended to create a smooth dressing.
-
In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sunflower seeds and sauté until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Once toasted, remove the seeds from the pan and let them cool on a plate.
-
While the seeds cool, prepare the remaining ingredients: tear the lettuce, chop the green onions, and drain the mandarin oranges.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the torn lettuce, chopped green onions, mandarin oranges, and diced avocado.
-
Just before serving, add the cooled sunflower seeds to the salad mixture and toss everything together gently.
-
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
