Super tasty, and SO easy to make. Definitely is going to become a go-to salad in our house. The only changes I made were to add Pecans instead of Sunflower Seeds (had pecans handy) and craisins instead of raisins...again...had the craisins on hand. I also added some black pepper. DELICIOUS! Even the husband liked it, and that's saying a lot because he's not much of a salad guy.

Great recipe! The flavors worked together very well and the longer it set together, the better it got! I did leave out the raisins, which was just a personal preference. Will definitely make again!

YUM!!! There were a number of us that could not stop eating it! I cooked my bacon in the microwave between two paper towels until crisp. I also used red wine vinegar, because that's what I had. I do think I could have used a bigger head of broccoli though as the sauce was pretty thick and could have spread a bit more. Definitely a keeper recipe!

Oh so good! This is my favorite summer salad! I have made it at least 5 times in the last month. I also add shredded coleslaw mix with carrots(about half a small bag) to add a bit more veggies and omit the raw onion.

DELICIOUS!!! Substituted halved grapes as other reviewers suggested (and doubled the amount as well). Also used a packet of splenda instead of sugar. A fabulous combo of sweet and savory and crunchy. Loved this recipe!!! Will DEFINITELY be making this again!

Thought this was good. I didn't add the sunflower seeds because I didn't have them on hand. Also, used frozen broccoli and just barely cooked it (basically defrosted it in micro). Would use frozen again in a pinch but fresh is always better in this case.

I changed this a bit - and hate reviewing recipes after altering, but the base (broccoli and dressing) is great so I'm breaking my rule. I blanched the broccoli which retains the bright green color while keeping it nice and crunchy, and takes away any of that weird aftertaste it can have when eaten raw. I used craisins to add a little color and liked them much better than raisins. Didn't add the bacon and didn't miss it. Finally, used champagne vinegar and thought it was lovely.

If you don't care about fat grams, this is a fantastic dish. I used low fat mayo and halved green grapes in place of the raisins. Used red wine vinigar as that is what i had on hand. Absolutely delicious! (just don't read the nutritional information and tell yourself that your eating brocolli so it must be good for you)!

I used golden raisins and it turned out GREAT!! The mix of sweet from the raisins and tangy from the vinegar was perfect. I will definitely make it again.

Yum, yum, yum! I used craisins b/c that is all I had on hand, and it turned out great. I think letting it sit overnight really helps too. My guests loved it!

Yummy! Made for Easter at the Amador's. Made with grapes instead of raisins and made some without sunflower seeds and onions for Martha.

I love this recipe so much that I add it to our menu twice a month. Although this recipe is PERFECTION on it's own, I usually substitute a red onion and splenda, in addition I often add a dollop of greek or plain yogurt to the dressing. My husband is a body builder, so he likes his meals hearty and usually salads are more of a side dish. However, once you add some grilled chicken or breaded chicken strips this becomes a hearty meal for all the big eaters in the family. This is a huge hit with the whole family!!

I used low fat Hellmans mayo, and cut bacon in 1/2 to reduce fat, and it was still fabulous. Thanks!
