Fresh broccoli, sweet red grapes, crispy bacon, sunflower seeds, and a creamy dressing that ties it all together. One key step that makes all the difference: the broccoli is briefly blanched, which softens it just enough to absorb the dressing beautifully while keeping that satisfying crunch \u2014 no tough, raw florets here.
