Pour salad dressing over the salad and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve and serve chilled.

Tips:

Make sure to chop the broccoli into small bite-sized pieces so people don’t have to further cut it down before eating the salad!
Wait to add the dressing until right before you’re planning to serve the salad to keep the broccoli as crisp as possible.
Switch up the crunch by replacing the sunflower seeds with pumpkin seeds or even pistachios if you prefer those!
Serve the salad dry and let people add their own amount of dressing if they prefer – some people like well-dressed salad and others don’t, especially a creamy tangy dressing like this one!
