INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, combine broccoli florets, green apple, green and red grapes, green onion, toasted almonds and green olives; set aside.

Looks awesome Thanks
Just wondering why it show cucumbers, celery and sunflower seeds but the recipe doesn’t have any of those ingredients in it.
I agree. I was wondering the same thing.
In the title it says sunflower seeds and cranberries however they aren’t mentioned in the recipe!
