    This Fresh Vegetable Salad with Creamy Balsamic Dressing is one of the easiest salads to make and yet very tasty! It contains only natural ingredients: crunchy vegetables and healthy dressing. It is lighter than many other creamy salads as the dressing is based on yogurt and extra virgin olive oil so it doesn’t contain unhealthy fats.

    The sunflower seeds, on the other hand, compliment very well the vegetables with their wonderful taste. They are an additional source of healthy oils and fibers. You might not have expected that sunflower seeds could go so well together with fresh spinach and cucumbers but it is a fact!
