Everything about this recipe is perfect except for the sugar. I used a tablespoon sugar and it was more than enough. That way the salad is also relatively healthy...which is good because I ate half of it in a day.

I don't like raw broccoli at all — or so I thought. I can't get enough of this salad. I had it at a catered event yesterday, and ran straight home to see if I could find a similar recipe online. This was right on the mark. My hubs thought it was too sweet, and though I like it as-is, it would certainly do fine with less sugar. I completely omitted the bacon (which wasn't in the recipe I was trying to copy and I don't eat it anyway). Delish!

This is JUST what I was looking for when I searched for the salad like they make at Souplantation, also known as Sweet Tomatoes. After reading the reviews, I cut the sugar to 1/4 cup and it is beautifully balanced. I only used 1/2 pound of bacon too, but it seems just right! I'll also be adding my cashews just before serving so they are more crunchy. It tastes SO good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Could there be any stranger combination of ingredients? Probably not. Could they taste any better together? Probably not! Tastes just like Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation's broccoli salad or the one you get at Costco.

Next time I will add more dressing. Used Spin Blend (which is like a healthy miracle whip), splenda and turkey bacon. GREAT!

This salad is great except for the dressing. Too sweet with the cider vinegar and sugar, so I used white vinegar and cut the sugar by half. Also added shredded cheddar cheese which make it just like my favorite Broccoli Salad at Sweet Tomato. Family loved at a bbq,and taking it a friends house tomorrow who asked me to bring a salad with meat in it (they're English!).

I used 1/4 c sugar and added the cashews last. I also subbed craisins for raisins. I like that there wasn't a lot of dressing. Plenty sweet. Nice flavor.

This was good and easy. I did reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup, and I am glad I did as it was plenty sweet enough with the reduced amount and the raisins. I also added the cashews right before serving as others suggested. I will make this again.
