For a richer flavor, try toasting the sunflower seeds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool completely before adding to the salad. If you're not a fan of raisins, substitute dried cranberries or chopped dates for a similar sweetness and chewy texture. For a vegetarian variation, consider adding some protein such as chickpeas or edamame. Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the dressing to your liking. Taste and add more sugar if needed. Salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
