Great recipe! It is really easy to throw together - and add pretty much what you want - I added both golden raisins and some dried cranberries, and used some toasted peacns instead on sunflower seeds..yum!!!

I use dried cranberries instead of raisins, and leave out the seeds as my family doesn't like them. Also, add a cup of cubed (~1/2 inch pieces) sharp cheddar cheese for more pizzaz! It's best to add the dressing right before serving, or the broccoli will be soggy.

People were scared about the fact that the broccoli was raw, but once they tasted it they realized it didn't matter. The bacon really makes the salad but 1/2 pound would have been enough.

We really enjoy this recipe. We make it a lot in the summer, but it is great anytime. Everybody is always asking for the recipe. I do not add rasins. And I cut back on the sauce (it seems too juicy/runny) and I added about 1 cup of ched. cheese. YUMMY!

Excellent! The dressing was the perfect measurements for this recipe, as well as the raisins and nuts. I made it with 3 bags of frozen brocolli flowerettes from Green Giant (14oz. bag). It was delicious! Thank You!

I was looking for a broccoli salad recipe similar to the one they serve at the cafeteria where I work. This one far surpassed my expectations! I made it for a party and even the meat loving guys ate it up! Now, I'm sharing the recipe with my colleagues.

This is my husband's favorite salad - he cannot get enough of it when we make it! I have no children and can't rate it as to kid-friendliness though. It would go well with the kids in my extended family though - they all love bacon.

Thanks for the recipe Jennifer, everyone loved it. The red wine vinegar is the key to the dressing

My family and I LOVED this!!!! I left out the raisens though. And I just used bacon bits instead of frying up bacon. This made it a lot faster. Even my 10 year old brother, who hates broccoli, kept telling me how much he liked it.

I have use this recipe several times and always get rave reviews. I put the dressing on about an hour before serving but save the crunchies til just before I serve.
