I made this salad on our annual "womens houseboat trip"......what a hit! Made it in the morning and then had all day to enjoy the sun with the girls. It didn't need overnight to marinate. This salad rocks!

I like broccoli salad and I like curry, so how could I not like this recipe? I did use dried cranberries instead of cherries and slivered almonds instead of sunflower seeds. Also added orzo pasta so made a double amount of dressing. Using pre-cooked real bacon pieces made this even easier to put together.

I've never made a broccoli salad before and prepared it for a Mother's Day picnic- it was a hit! The only suggestion I heard (keeping in mind the audience of women who aren't big fans of spicy food) was to use half the amount of hot sauce. Yummy!

I love broccoli so I really enjoyed this salad. I tweaked it base on what I had available. I used lowfat yogurt instead of mayo, I didn't have any raisins so I peeled and chop an apple, shredded a carrot and used dry roasted peanuts. Spiced it up with a little more curry, cayenne pepper and let it sit for a couple of hours. Great salad, pretty too!

We love this recipe. Instead of plain sugar, I use brown sugar because it seems to have more depth in flavor. I had to use golden raisins one time and another time I used currants because both times I didn't have dried cherries and the recipe turned out great!

This was excellent! I halved the recipe and the dressing was not quite enough, so I made some extra. Next time I'll try another reviewer's suggestion and add a couple cups of cooked pasta. YUM!

I absolutely love this recipe and have made it several times. Here are the adjustments I make. I reduce the onion, dried fruit, sunflower seeds and bacon by half. It's way too much for the amount of broccoli and goes to waste. I substitute dried cranberries and raisins (1/2 of each) when I don't have cherries on hand and it's just as good. I have made this salad up to 6 hours before a party and it has "marinated" long enough. It's the first salad to go at a party and I have had several people ask for the recipe. It also is great when having company as it can be made ahead so you can spend more time with your guests.

The taste was good, I always like the curry/mayo type dressings, but the broccoli and sunflower seeds weren't crisp. I might make it again, but not let it sit overnight.

This is always a hit. I make it for every party I have or go to. I usually substitute 2 cups of cooked pasta (any kind even tortellini) for the broccoli. I sometimes put the bacon on the side so my vegetarian friends can enjoy it.

This is a nice twist on the usual Broccoli salad. It was great for a luncheon I had for some friends. I received lots of compliments.
