Our version of this potluck favourite emphasizes the fresh flavour of the broccoli. Reduced-sugar dried cranberries offer pops of sweetness, and sunflower seeds and bacon round things out with decidedly savoury notes. Though the salad is great served right away, it’s perhaps even better if you make it ahead (up to two days in advance) and let the flavours meld in the refrigerator.
