Instructions
- Dry-roast sunflower seeds in a heavy pan over medium heat until light brown. Stir constantly, taking care seeds do not burn. Transfer to a plate and leave to cool.
- Reserve a few whole lettuce leaves and tear or cut the rest into strips. Cut apples into small pieces and place in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent discolouration. Peel radish and grate finely.
- To make dressing, whisk sour cream, vinegar, oil and sugar in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add torn lettuce and apples. Stir gently to combine.
- Place whole lettuce leaves on serving plate. Top with apple salad. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds, radish and sprouts.
