- 1-2 teaspoons agave nectar, to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger root
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Make the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, balsamic vinegar, stevia, ginger, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Set aside for the flavors to blend.
Make the salad: Toss the chard, greens, grapefruit, fennel, and beet in a large salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Then sprinkle with sunflower seeds and garnish with dill. Serve immediately.
