Step 1

In a large bowl, place piles of the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, snap peas, corn, red onion, goat cheese, and sunflower seeds.

Step 2

In a small bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk or shake together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss to combine well. The goat cheese will “melt” into the salad, creating a creamy texture.

Step 4

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
