6 cups broccoli florets
½ cup sunflower seeds toasted
1 apple cored and diced
¼ cup fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped

Honey Dijon Dressing

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt and fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

Cut the broccoli florets into bite size pieces. Heat a little water to boil in a pan with a steamer insert. Steam the broccoli for just about a minute (it will get bright green). Drain and cool.
Using a julienne peeler, knife, or mandoline julienne the stems.
Place the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until creamy. Add the broccoli, apple, sunflower seeds and parsley to the bowl. Toss to coat and refrigerate until serving. Serve cold.

Notes

If your sunflower seeds aren't toasted - simple place them in a small skillet over medium high heat. Stir them and keep and eye on them because they can go from perfectly toasted to burnt, quickly!
