For a nuttier flavor, toast the sunflower seeds and almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat before adding them to the salad. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly. Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, or edamame. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Give it a good shake before using. If you prefer a less sweet dressing, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup. To make this salad gluten-free, use gluten-free ramen noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
