Nothing beats a crisp, Fresh Broccoli Salad on a summer day. Nothing at all, because nothing is quite so refreshing! The broccoli is crunchy and floral, the red onion is spicy, and the raisins are sweet, but it's the topping that will truly have you amazed. Toasted sunflower seeds in a sweet-and-sticky sauce will beat any crouton you can find. Fresh Broccoli Salad is a fresh take on what the salad course can really do!
