For a tangier flavor, try using apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. Toast the sunflower seeds for a nuttier taste and enhanced crunch. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the dressing. Consider adding other ingredients like shredded cheddar cheese, dried cranberries, or chopped pecans for added flavor and texture.
