I was surprised at how much my guests enjoyed this salad. One gentleman said, "I never thought I would love broccoli with grapes, but just leave me alone while I finish this up!" I submerged the broccoli in boiling water, let the water come back to a rolling boil, and then removed the broccoli --- that left the veggies with just the right texture. I think you should halve the salad dressing recipe because it made way too much. My salad turned out soupy when I poured most of the dressing on it, so I let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before taking it out, transferring it to a colander/sieve, and letting most of the dressing drain out. The salad looked and tasted much better with most of the dressing removed. I added the bacon bits (I used Bac-O's since we don't eat pork) and sunflower seeds in the end, eyeballing how much I wanted to add (since I think the recipe called for way too many sunflower seeds!). Enjoy; this recipe is a keeper.
