2. Stir in the diced apple, celery, sunflower seeds, and raisins into the carrot and brussels sprout mixture.
3. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and optional fresh thyme to taste. Add a small amount of maple sryup (about 1/2-1.5 tsp) to take the edge off the lemon juice. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Serve & enjoy!
