For a nuttier flavor, try using toasted slivered almonds or chopped pecans in place of the sunflower seeds. If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of Dijon mustard. To prevent the broccoli from becoming soggy, add the dressing just before serving. This salad is also delicious with dried cranberries or chopped dates instead of raisins.
