Have made this several times. The dressing is a bit sweet for my taste; you might consider cutting the sugar back slightly. My husband prefers it according to the recipe. I always use regular raisins, recommend the sunflower seeds when they are available, but aren't essential. We have also substituted shredded carrots or cauliflower for some of the broccoli. Do give the dressing time to sit and mingle flavors. Always excellent!

My mother in law makes this salad and I've always loved it. It's a great change for a summer picnic than the usual potato salads.

Yum,yum, yum! Love this recipe. I did change the amount of sugar I put in. Thought it was asking for a bit to much! I also added chedder cheese and cashews. So perfect!

This was delicious! I omitted the bacon and green onion and added red onion and bit of shredded cheddar cheese. Will definitely make this again and again.

Makes a good side dish..I like to use red onions versus green..and I skipped the raisins and added cranberries. ..the sunflower seeds are a must.

Add a little worcestershire sauce so that it's not quite so sweet. YUM!

Loved this salad but...The recipe calls for sunflower seeds, and the photo shows cashews. I used both! :) Wonderful!

Hands down my favorite broccoli salad recipe! There's just something about the golden raisins that add the perfect flavor...not quite as sweet as regular reasons but still a nice juxtaposition to the salty of the bacon, the little bit of spice of the onion (I like to use finely chopped red onions in addition to the green), and the creamy base of the mayo/vinegar combo. Love love love this salad!

Super Delicious and super easy! I'm not a raisin fan so I substitute dried cranberries instead. Make sure to store in fridge for a couple hours before serving so all the flavors can really marry.
