Begin by finely chopping 1 cucumber, 1 green bell pepper, a handful of pepperoncinis, and a small red onion. Also, peel and dice 2 hard-boiled eggs.

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped cucumber, bell pepper, pepperoncinis, red onion, and hard-boiled eggs.

Sprinkle ¼ cup of sunflower seeds, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper over the vegetable medley.

Pour about ½ cup of zesty Italian dressing over the mixed ingredients and gently fold the dressing into the salad.
