Tips:
- Utilize Fresh and Ripe Ingredients: For an optimal flavor profile, make sure to select the ripest and freshest strawberries and sunflowers. This will ensure the salad's sweetness and crunchiness.
- Balance Flavors: To achieve a harmonious taste, balance the sweetness of the strawberries with the tanginess of the lemon-poppy seed dressing. The dressing should complement the salad without overpowering its natural flavors.
- Don't Overdress the Salad: A light coating of dressing is sufficient to enhance the flavors of the salad without weighing it down. Overdressing can mask the delicate flavors of the strawberries and sunflowers.
- Garnish Wisely: Elevate the visual appeal of your salad with a sprinkle of sunflower seeds, chopped nuts, or crumbled feta cheese. These garnishes add texture and extra flavor to each bite.

The vibrant Sunflower Strawberry Salad offers a refreshing and delightful blend of flavors, textures, and colors.
