Yum! This salad is a refreshing change from the usual same old, same old. The sunflowers add a nice touch of texture and flavor, and the lemon dressing is light and zesty. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sunflower seeds. It's a simple dish, but the flavors are very well-balanced. I especially appreciate the fact that it's not too heavy on the dressing. Definitely a keeper!

UnderUCHAR whelmingly bland. The sunflowers were tasteless and the dressing was completely forgettable. I won't be making this salad again.

Not impressed. The sunflowers were soggy and the dressing was too oily. I think I'll stick to my usual salad recipes.

This salad is a keeper! It's so versatile and can be served as a side dish or a light lunch. I love that the recipe is easily adaptable to different dietary needs. For example, vegans can use olive oil instead of butter.

Meh, it was okay. The sunflowers didn't really add anything special, and the dressing was a bit bland. I've had better sunflower tossed dishes before.

Not a huge fan. The sunflower seeds were a bit too chewy for my liking, and the dressing was a tad too sour. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
