Broccoli Salad

Sorry it has been a while since we have added a new recipe. You all know how life goes. I hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas.

This is a delicious recipe that is great for company. It is fresh and tangy. This is one of our favorite summertime picnic recipes as well.

1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 recipe Broccoli Salad Dressing (see below)
