This slightly tart broccoli salad is the perfect accompaniment to any picnic, brunch or church gathering. My grandmother used to make this for festive occasions and it was always one of my favorites ( though she would add a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese). Tart vinegar and sweet raisins with a soft crunch from the sunflower seeds gives you all the crunchy goodness you may feel like you miss out on with braces. Never fear, broccoli is here!
