Favorite Broccoli Salad

Step 1

Toast the sunflower seeds: Pour the sunflower seeds into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently (careful, they’ll burn!), until the seeds are turning golden on the sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl.

Step 2

Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cheese and cranberries to the serving bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt). Whisk until the mixture is well blended.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all of the broccoli is lightly coated in dressing. I highly recommend letting the salad marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Divide the salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered.
