Notes
Make Ahead. Broccoli salad can be prepared a day ahead of time without losing it's texture. Just be sure to leave out the bacon and sunflower seeds until you are ready to serve, or they might get a little soggy. If you need to preapre it 2-3 days in advance, combine all the salad ingredients except the dressing: wait to add the dressing until you are ready to serve. Once the dressing has been added to the salad, it will only last 1-2 more days in the refrigerator.
Additions. Add cubed cheddar cheese of other fruits and veggies, like cauliflower florets, chopped kale, shredded carrots, chopped celery or apple chunks.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
