For a healthier option, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise. To enhance the flavor of the mushrooms, sauté them lightly in a pan with a touch of olive oil before adding them to the salad. Toasting the sunflower seeds brings out their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Watch carefully to avoid burning. If you prefer a less sweet dressing, reduce the amount of sugar. This salad is also delicious with the addition of chopped celery or shredded carrots.
