A delightful and refreshing broccoli salad with a creamy dressing, perfect for any occasion.
Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cutting the broccoli into uniform pieces ensures even distribution of dressing.
Dice the celery and red onion finely and add them to the bowl with the broccoli.
Finely diced vegetables blend better with the salad.
Add the sunflower seeds and golden raisins to the bowl.
Toasting the sunflower seeds enhances their flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, and red wine vinegar until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a creamy and well-blended dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the broccoli florets.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld.
Chilling the salad enhances its flavor and texture.
