Notes
Make sure your broccoli is cut into bite-sized pieces.
Shred your own cheese, the pre-shredded packaged cheese has a coating on it to prevent sticking.
Swap out the sunflower seeds for chopped pecans, cashews, or even slivered almonds.
If you like your broccoli salad with more sauce, just double the dressing recipe.
