This salad is a lighter version of the mayonnaise, sugar, and bacon heavy broccoli salad we used to make. I sometimes use almonds, pecans or walnuts instead of the sunflower seeds. You can substitute raisins for the cranberries, but it won't have that little kick of tartness that really perks up the taste of the salad.
