💡 Start with less dressing than you think you need — too much makes the salad watery as it sits.
🧂 If your bacon or sunflower seeds are salted, reduce the added salt in the dressing accordingly.
🥶 For best make-ahead results, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to keep everything crisp.
