For a tangier dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. To toast sunflower seeds, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add ¼ cup of crumbled feta cheese for a salty, savory flavor.
