  • 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.
  • 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.
