Took the lazy way out and made it with bacon bits instead of real bacon and it was still a huge hit! Great recipe

This is the best broccoli salad recipe I have tried! I altered it a little for my taste. I leave out the raisins and add shredded cheddar cheese.

Love the sweet flavors of the salad mixed with the crunchy saltiness of the seeds.

I used apple cider vinegar instead. I've made this several times. I will try grapes next as some have suggested.

Holy.MOLY! This is so so so yummy. I could probably eat it all day long. Huge fan. I think that will become my 'go-to' dish for potlucks and parties. It was so tasty, so easy, and definitely a nice change from the regular party/potluck favorites. It was so good-- I'm craving it now! I followed one of the reviewer's advice and used fresh grapes instead of raisins. Glad that I did--- the grapes added a nice, fresh, juicy crunch.

My entire family loves this. Ive made it several times just as the recipe is written and varied it a couple of times as well by adding just a handful of shredded old cheddar, grapes instead of raisins and almonds as well as the sunflower seeds. I always make a double batch and we never have leftovers!

Made if for a potluck and had no leftovers! (I used red wine vinegar- couldn't find white, low fat mayo, grapes, more broccoli and less bacon)

I'm not only impressed with this salad, I'm impressed with the great reviews it got! Congratulations to JJohn32! I've also done a similar salad in the past that includes peanut butter! Terrific as well! And a real surprise to anyone who eats it for the first time!

We really like this, but have made some minor changes. Instead of raisins, we use Craisins (dried cranberries). Also, after the second batch, we decided to omit the bacon. Matbe its because we used turkey bacon, but we really prefer the flavor without. Its very easy and yummy though, and great alongside a turkey burger recipe I found on this site (Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers).

Great recipe ... I've made it several times. The only change I made is I cut the sugar down to 1 tablespoon ....the raisins already gave a "sweet" flavor to the salad ... I've added shredded x-sharp cheese a few times and enjoyed that as well ... Thank You!!!!

This is one of my all time favourite salad recipes! The only thing I do differently is I add Craisins instead of Raisins as we are not a fan of Raisins in our house! I also add toasted Almonds! Love Love LOVE this salad!

This is so good, I've made it without the raisins, bacon, and sunflower seeds - just broccoli and onions and the dressing. Honestly, I don't think toasting the sunflower seeds adds any flavor, just a little time to the prep, so I don't do that any more.

I read what a hit this salad was, but I was shocked at how fast it went! I cheated. I used precooked bacon bits (in a bag in the salad dressing section of the store). Didn't toast the sunflower seeds, either. I added a handful of shredded cheese for color. Mixed it all up the night before...YUMMY! Will make again...and again...and again!!!!
