I usually dislike broccoli but yet I love this salad!! It gets rave reviews every time I bring it to a party. I make a few changes though. I use sunflower seeds instead of almonds and I throw in small chunks of feta.

Fabulous recipe! I brought it to a BBQ last month and it was a huge hit. I'm making it again this weekend and hoping for leftovers!

Loved the recipe! I only added half of the onions and there was still a good onion taste. I also added a few more raisins. Wouldn't do anything else different!

Delicious. I substituted dried cranberries and almonds because that is what I had. I also used half mayo and half sour cream. This is a keeper. Thanks Nora.

I added dried mustard to the dressing, and used dried cranberries instead of raisins. Yum!

Loved this one! I went to a family reunion over the weekend and had this same type of salad. I never got the recipe from the host so I went searching here. This one is the closest to the one I loved over the weekend. This one adds raisins, which was a nice little pop of sweetness. I halved the mayo and vinegar and sugar though. I don't like my veggies too saucy/mayonnaisey, my husband loved it! Ill be making this for aprties from now on. Thanks!

Great recipe. I was pleasantly surprised (and so was my boyfriend). A mayo-based dressing + sugar, my initial thoughts were "gross, how did this recipe get such high ratings". But my curiosity go the best of me, and I am glad it did!

Delicious crowd pleaser. Substitute turkey bacon, roasted pine nuts, (tho the cashew idea sounds good too) craisins, skinny Miracle Whip, wine or balsamic vinegar to taste, with less sugar (or Splenda) to make the dish even a happier meal in the eyes of your doctor. Make a big batch, dole out small portions and see how many ask for more!

Great salad and easy to make. I usually buy broccoli salad at an expensive upscale supermarket. This was better! Next time I will add less sugar as this was a little too sweet. Thanks for a great recipe!

Outstanding base recipe but surprise (!) here's my modifications, that in my opinion improved the end product. No raisins. I don't believe raisins have any place on this planet and ruin everything they come into contact with. Replace raisins with sunflower seeds or pine nuts. I also added shredded red cabbage which combined with the broccoli adds great flavor and even more crunch. Reduce the 1/2 cup of sugar as this overpowers and over-sweetens the overall flavor of this wonderful salad. The longer you chill this salad the better it gets. Enjoy as it truly is a crowd pleaser. Thanks for posting.
