Loved this salad & it was a hit with my husband! I doubled the recipe & did 1/2 cauliflower. Used plain yogurt for 1/2 of the mayo to help cut some calories & added some shredded cheddar (to put some calories back in-ha!) Looking forward to making this for camping trips & summer BBQs. Thanks!

I went searching for the salad I remembered from High School (1981) and this was it exactly. Thanks!

Have been wanting to find a good broccoli salad and this fit the bill. I was just about to cook the broccoli but resisted the urge; not a super big fan of raw broccoli but this salad was so yummy. I used 2 C broccoli uncooked just because I wanted to use up what I had but everything else followed to the letter. Thank you! Loved it.

needed to cook for a crowd so I added 3 cups cooked penne pasta. Then discovered I didn't have raisins so I used dried cranberries. Yummy!

Yummy! I added some shredded cheddar cheese and a little red onion per the other suggestions. I left out the sunflower seeds just because I don't like them. For a little added bacon flavor I threw in a tablespoon of the bacon grease. Delicious!

Everytime I go to a potluck, people ask me to bring this. They love it! I always get asked for the recipe. It is so easy!

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was quick and easy to throw together. Longest step was cooking the bacon. I am typically not a big broccoli salad fan, this was honeslty the first one I enjoyed. Ironicly, my husband didn't care for it, eventhough he is the broccoli salad lover. He said it was lacking something. I did increase the amount of broccoli I used as well as doubled the sauce. I just felt 10 slices of bacon to 1 cup broccoli was too much. To reduce fat in this recipe I used light mayo, turkey bacon, and slightly reduced the sugar (this may have been where my husband was thrown off.) I also used craisins instead of raisins because that is what I had on hand. I would reccommend this recipe for quick side dishes at dinner, lunches, picnics, or a great dish to bring to pass at potlucks. Note: In the future I will be sure to use unsalted sunflower seeds because it was a tad salty. Toasting the sunflower seeds prior to adding to the dish adds a nice touch.

This is now my quick pot luck go-to recipe. And my husband has decreed that I make a double batch each time - one for the pot luck, and one for him at home.
