  1. Rinse the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water and shake off excess water. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add it to a large mixing bowl.

  3. Sprinkle sunflower seeds over the salad mixture and toss gently to distribute them.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), fresh herbs, minced garlic, and lemon juice until creamy.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the best crunch and flavor.
