I have tried it without the sunflower seeds, and it is still just as good. Sometimes if I am out of sunflower seeds, I put shaved almonds in the salad, and that's great too!

I've been eating a lot of brocolli lately but I've been eating it steamed with nothing on it which is extremely plain and boring. That salad looks delicious and would be more interesting then my current way of eating it. I think I'll give that dressing a try. The only thing I dont have at the moment is the apple cider vinegar. Maybe red wine vinegar would work as a substitute?

Red wine vinegar would absolutely work.
Plain broccoli is great too! But I think my favorite way to enjoy broccoli is steamed with a little bit of cheddar, salt and pepper
Ok great I'll try it with the red wine vinegar
