When Michaela Rosenthal lived in Montana, she made a similar version of this salad. Upon moving to Woodland hills, Calif., she updated it with fresh local ingredients. According to Michaela, this is a great potluck dish. Bring the dressing in a separate container and add enough to coat the greens just before serving.

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 (4-ounce) packages bean sprouts
2 navel oranges, peeled and separated

1/3 cup shelled sunflower seeds
