Additional recipe notes
Leftovers of Broccoli Salad can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. If possible keep the sunflower seeds and bacon separate until serving. Low Carb Modifications Sugar can be ommitted but the dressing will be much tangier. Using the sugar helps to cut the tartness of the vinegar and makes the dressing taste even better. If you are minimizing sugar, raisins can be substituted for craisins. This recipe is naturally gluten free. Please check all packages of products bought to ensure compliance.
