For a tangier flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of apple cider vinegar. Toasted pecans or walnuts can be substituted for sunflower seeds for a richer, nuttier flavor. If you prefer a creamier salad, add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise. For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the mayonnaise.
