For a healthier option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the dressing. Toasted sunflower seeds add an extra layer of nutty flavor. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. If you prefer a tangier salad, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing. This salad is best served within 24 hours of preparation to maintain the broccoli's crispness.

Mar 24, 2023I've made this salad several times, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The only change I made was to use whole wheat tortellini for a bit more fiber.
