Love this! Only change I make is to omit the raisins. I don't care for them much.

This was AWESOME! Used 1 head fresh broccoli, boiled 1 min then rinsed in cold water. Let salad sit overnight leaving out 1/2 of bacon and sunflower seeds till ready to server. I did sunstitute halved grapes instead of raisens - other than that followed to a tee and it was delicious!!!

This was pretty good. For our personal tastes, we reduced the amount of bacon and cut the dressing in about half (with more available to pour on if we wanted it).

I love Broccoli Salad and did a twist with this one. I used two bags of broccoli slaw, replaced the sugar with Splenda, used SunMaid fruit bits, McCormick salad toppings instead of nuts, and bacon bits to save time. Kept to the amounts the same. I also made it the night before. We had soup and salad at my in-laws and there was hardly any left.

I have to triple this recipe when I take it to my daughter's youth group! EVERYONE loves it. I think the next small batch I make I'm going to substitute dried cranberries for the raisins, for a little more tang. I let you know if it works.

Reminds me of Ruby Tuesday's recipe. Yum. I used precooked bacon for ease and I only had apple cider vinegar when I made it. Still amazingly great recipe. It's a keeper!

I read all the reviews and was impressed so I made this for a potluck at work. It was a SMASH and several asked for the recipe! I made some for home and my son loved it and wants it again. He especially loved the dressing. I made it exactly as the recipe...and it was great...I then added some grated cheddar cheese on some and it was sooo good too...I highly recommend this recipe! Thank you!!

Absolutely wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly as is. I wasn't sure whether to use roasted salted sunflower seeds or unsalted, which I could not find. I ended up buying raw shelled sunflower seeds and toasting them myself in the oven, and they were fabulous in the salad! Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!

Best broccoli salad recicpe I've found. I did use more than 1 head of broccoli as there was way too much dressing for my taste.

I couldn't believe it when I saw this recipe was rated 5 stars by 488 people, so I HAD to try it. It's great, the bacon really throws it over the top! I used frozen broccoli,and I over-cooked it, but the salad still tasted great. This is a keeper.

I have made this recipe with rice vinegar and splenda and red seedless grapes since some of my family members do not like the raisins. I have also used pecans or walnuts. This recipe is the best for potlucks and bbqs. Men, women and children love it! This is requested by my family many, many a time. I have to take extra copies of the recipe with me when I make it, because people ask me for it. LOVE IT!!!

VERY GOOD!!! This was the first broccoli salad I've ever made and it tasted great. I'm not a big fan of broccoli salads so I'm so glad to have found this recipe. TMJ got in the way of all the chewing. :(

This is great dish to take to a BBQ! I always get wonderful comments when I make this! I omit the bacon and add craisins instead of raisins and add a tiny bit of shredded sharp cheese. Love the colors! Thank you for the recipe!
