Chop the lettuce into 2 centimeter chunks, wash thoroughly and spin dry in a salad spinner.

Slice the cucumber lengthwise in half, then place the flat side down and slice in half again. Cut across the cucumber into a dice.

Cut the red peppers in half and scoop out the seeds and membrane. Cut the pepper into long strips, then cut across into a dice.

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half from top to bottom.

Measure out the sunflower seeds and dressing.

Place the lettuce, cucumber, peppers, and tomatoes into a large bowl and use the tongs to toss. Season with a sprinkle of salt, and add half the dressing. Toss to coat the salad, and taste. If the salad needs more dressing, add the remaining dressing and toss again.
