Steps:
- Toast the sunflower seeds: Pour the sunflower seeds into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), until the seeds are turning golden on the sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl.
- Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cheese and cranberries to the serving bowl. Set aside.
- In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt). Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all of the broccoli is lightly coated in dressing. I highly recommend letting the salad marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator.
- Divide the salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH VINEGAR-MUSTARD GLAZE
On its own, roasted broccoli is a treat: caramelized and crisp-tender, with frizzled florets and sweet stems. To prevent overcooking, roast at a high heat and on one side the whole time. Flipping the broccoli to brown on both sides increases the chance that it will dry out or turn to mush before the outsides are as caramelized as you like. To give the broccoli a little pizzazz, this recipe takes inspiration from a classic mustard pan sauce, which makes chicken breasts or steaks sparkle. Toss the broccoli with butter, vinegar and Dijon mustard right out of the oven, and the heat from the sheet pan will meld them into a silky, bright sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer, cut-sides down, and roast, without flipping, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the butter, vinegar and mustard to the broccoli on the sheet pan and toss until the butter's melted, scraping up browned bits from the pan as you go. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tight, compact florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Trim the broccoli properly: Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli stalks and divide the broccoli head into florets. Cut the florets into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
- Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and nutrients. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the broccoli florets, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Coat the broccoli in the sauce: Drain the broccoli well and place it in a large bowl. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the broccoli and toss to coat. Serve the broccoli immediately or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
Honey mustard broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and the honey mustard sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor that makes it irresistible. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, honey mustard broccoli is a great choice for busy weeknights or special occasions.
