For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the sunflower seeds lightly before adding them to the bacon mixture. This will enhance their nutty flavor and add another dimension of texture to the salad. If you prefer a tangier dressing, you can increase the amount of apple cider vinegar to taste. A teaspoon of Dijon mustard can also be added for extra complexity. This salad is best served chilled. If making ahead of time, keep the bacon-sunflower seed mixture separate and add it just before serving to maintain its crispness.
