We grew brocolli in our garden this year and I ended up making this salad several times. We LOVE it. I add craisins & sunflower kernels. Makes a perfect side dish to any meal.

I just got back from our family reunion and I made this broccoli salad. Everyone loved it! Someone told me to make it again and it was all gone by the second day! I will be making this again!

This by far is one of my favorites! I get compliments every time I make it. I did change it up a bit though..I add cauliflower, carrots, radishes and sunflower seeds. Great for the flavor and the look of the overall salad! Every time there's a party to attend, I get requests for this one each time! Thanks for the recipe!

Mmm Mmm...delicious!! Changed a few things though to make it perfect. Used rice vinegar instead of red wine and more sugar. Thats pretty much all the changes that it needs. Very good!

This recipe is awesome....or better put, BODACIOUS!!! I love this. My hubby and I ate the whole thing in one evening. The only things I did different were I used white wine vinegar instead or red wine vinegar because I didn't have any on hand. I also didn't have onions on hand so I omitted them and added extra cheese and bacon. Hey! You can NEVER have too much cheese and bacon. Also Iadded some of those cherry flavored dried cranberries (Craisins). Sooooo goood! You've gotta try this recipe!

I loved this! I cut back on the pepper and onion, as other readers suggested. I used bacon bits (the real bacon bits) to save some time and also added Craisins and almond slivers. Yum!

The dressing was way too peppery and the amount of vinegar was overpowering. I prefer 1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tbsp red wine vinegar. I add in a bit of honey too for extra sweetness. Also, I toss in some candied pecans and raisins.

The dressing is the best, I've also used it on potato salad and would probably go well with macaroni salad

Have made this 3 times over the summer and each time it seems to get better and better! You definitely, in my opinion, need to double the sauce as it just isn't enough left as is. Even better the next day! Very easy and great for parties or picnics!!

This recipe is really good. With a few modifications-toasted slivered almonds, dried cranberries and only salt and pepper to taste it turned out delicious!

I added cauliflower to this recipe as well. I took it to an event at our church, I got many compliments on it, and when I was walking by one of the tables I heard one guy say, "whoever made this brocolli salad rocks!" Will definately make this salad again, but may leave out some of the onion next time, It was slightly overpowering for me, althoug everyone else seemed to like it.

This salad was GREAT! I made it as stated (Except a little less cheese and mayo) and it was fabulous...I took it to the park for my sons birthday party. I would recommend eating it as soon as the bacon is crumbled in it because if you leave it in the refrigerator overnight (as I did because I made a few other salads), the bacon is soggy and it takes away from the fabulousness of the salad. I also put craisens in the leftover salad and loved it.
