I changed the recipe a little and made my own dressing by mixing 1 cup of mayo with 3 tbsp. of sugar and 3 tbsp. of white wine vinegar. I also used rasins and cashews instead of the cranberries and pistachios. I think you could probably use alot of different nuts or dried fruit according to your taste.

I love this recipe and sometimes add turkey or chicken to make it more of a heavier salad. Trader Joes has shelled pistacios so you don't have to waste time shelling. Cashews work well too!

I really wanted to like this salad, unfortunately, I found it very bland.

This was a good basic recipe. A nice jumping off spot to try other things and build your own slaw. I really enjoyed the cranberries in it

Good recipe. I added crushed pineapple, real bacon bits, and sunflower seed kernels, used 1 cup mayo plus 1 T white vinegar and 1 T sugar instead of bottled dressing.

I love broccoli slaw and it is one way to "hide" the veggies! I also make another version using the slaw mix, poppy seed dressing, pineapple chunks, raisins and sunflower seeds. YUM!

Great recipe, thanks! I could only find a 12 oz. bag of broccoli slaw, so I used 2 of those and a 16 oz. bottle of T. Marzetti's cole slaw dressing, it turned out perfectly! Thanks again!

Oh my, shelling the pistachios sure took a long time, BUT it was worth it! This is a great salad. I served it at a large backyard party we gave, and everyone loved it! I love serving dishes with unexpected ingredients, in this case the pistachios and cranberries. I was also able to make this the day before adding only the pistachios just before serving to keep them crunchy. I used Marie Calandar's cole slaw dressing. What a great side to grilled meat on a summer day! Thanks!

Delicious as is - I wouldn't change a thing! I do recommend letting the slaw sit for severla hours before eating it....it really brings all of the flavors together.

So simple and tasty. Made it for two events in a row at the request of my guests! Tastes best if you make it the night before except add the pistachios just before serving so they don't get mushy.

I took this to a potluck on Memorial Day and every one loved it. I did have some left over and served for dinner a couple of times. My husband even ate large servings and I have a real struggle to get him to eat salad. I will be making this a lot more often just for us. Thanks for sharing this recipe. The only thing I did different wast to substitute cashews for the pistachios. Couldn't find any at the store where I was shopping.

What an interesting recipe! I enjoyed it, but only made half a recipe as I'm cooking for just me. I couldn't eat it all very quickly, so the pistachios got soggy and lost their crunch. Also, I could only find pistachios in shells, so I had to spend quite a while shelling pistachios.

This recipe is a version of the broccoli salad that uses the chopped broccoli head, sunflower seeds and raisins. This recipe is a nice change from that. Love the cranberry-pistachio combination. I toasted the pistachios first to intensify thier flavor. Super easy to put together.

Delicious! The store didn't have the slaw mix, but I used one bunch of broccoli and 1 grated carrot, and was pleased. For the dressing, I mixed equal amounts of low-fat mayo and sour cream, a squirt of mustard, splashes of lemon juice and vinegar, plus a lot of celery salt and some seasoning salt. Very enjoyable, and even better after it sits overnight.
