In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and salt until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the leaves and gently massage the dressing into the leaves until they are lightly coated and the salad has almost halved in size.
Add the chopped celery, grated Parmesan, toasted sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries to the serving bowl. Toss again and serve immediately.
