Wash the broccoli thoroughly under cold water and cut it into bite-sized florets, ensuring you have about 4 cups.

In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

Add ½ cup of dried cranberries, ¼ cup of sunflower seeds, and ¼ cup of finely chopped red onion to the bowl of broccoli, then pour the dressing over the mixture and gently fold everything together.

Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Once chilled, take the salad out and give it a gentle toss. Serve in a lovely dish, adding extra sunflower seeds if desired.
