This Broccoli Salad is the perfect combination of salty and sweet! My daughter shared this recipe after having it at a friends and I knew I had to make it. The best part about this recipe (besides how good it is), is that it’s even better if made the day before, which takes the stress out of dinner time. Right before serving simply top with sunflowers seeds and some crispy bacon and you’ve got yourself a delicious fresh salad.
