1
can

⅓

roasted sunflower seeds
(see Notes below)

⅓
cup
oil
⅓
cup
apple cider vinegar
1
tbsp.
+ 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
½
tsp.
salt
1
clove
garlic, minced
(or 1/4 tsp. granulated garlic)
Instructions
Add all of the salad ingredients to a bowl.
Whisk together dressing ingredients.
Add the dressing to the cabbage salad and toss together until everything is fully mixed.
Notes
If you want to cook your own quinoa, you will need ¾ cup of uncooked quinoa to get the 2 ¼ cups this recipe requires.
If you would like to roast your own sunflower seeds,
these instructions
are helpful.
If making ahead, wait to add the sunflower seeds until ready to serve since they tend to get a bit soft once they sit with the dressing.
