Sharon's Hint

This salad can be made a day ahead of time! Keep the salad (except apples) and dressing separate until serving then chop the apples, toss with salad then add the sunflower seeds, pepitas and cheese. Add dressing and serve.

Step 1. 

In a large bowl, add broccoli, slaw, apples, dried cherries and red onion tossing to combine.
