As one reviewer suggested, I added some crumbled cheese, but other than that made the recipe exactly as written. I waited to add the sunflower seeds till the last minute, and wish I'd done the same with the bacon so it would have stayed crisper. Nonetheless, the salad was delicious....not too sweet, and just the right amount of dressing in proportion to the other ingredients. My bridge group loved it!
