I made this salad for a Christmas party, and along with everyone else in attendance, I really liked it! I took the advice of some of the reviewers and used almonds instead of peanuts. I also used Miracle Whip instead of Mayo. I was surprised by the number of people who doubled this recipe because it already makes a bunch. The only thing I might do different next time is make additional dressing -- it just didn't seem like there was quite enough. Another thing is that the name "raw vegetable salad" really doesn't do this delicious recipe justice. It should be called something like super delicious, crunchy heaven. :)

74 grams of fat per serving for a salad? I will not be making this again, sorry. If I'm going to be having all this fat, I'd rather eat a burger and fries.

One of the best brocoli salads I've had. The peas, nuts and parm cheese were such a nice addition. I subbed raisins for cranberries and cashews for peanuts. So tasty.

I have made this several times and each time it just disappears. I leave out the celery (family/friend preference), and I use cashews. I usually make the dressing the night before and wait to it on the veggies until just before I serve or leave the house so the flavors meld and the veggies don't get too soggy. I originally didn't think there would be enough dressing but it's a great amount. I will keep making this one for years.

I just made this salad and it was delicious. Oh my gosh, a definite keeper. I used regular peanuts cause that's all I had on hand, but it was a little too salty and I will use raw nuts next time. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

This was a delicious salad. I received many compliments. I did buy the pre-cooked bacon bits in a jar and added cashews. I also added balsamic vinegar instead of white because I love balsamic but it pinked up the color which I didn't like so next time I'll use white. Otherwise I followed the recipe and will definitely make again.

This salad was noone's favorite at this wkend's bbq. Nobody wanted seconds. Very bland tasting & quite course to chew even though everything was pains takingly chopped for company. I gave it two stars because made with low fat mayo it would be a healthy salad to eat.

Just made this today for my great-nephews Christening. It was a HUGE success. There was nothing left when I went to gather up my container and I doubled the recipe. This is great as is...I made no changes and everyone was asking for the recipe. Thanks for sharing!

My husband raved about this recipe. I made it as listed. I buy the pre-cooked and crumbled bacon bits that are in the salad dressing aisle. My picky brother-in-law said, "I shouldn't like it, but it is great!"

This recipe is wonderful. I made it for a Christmas potluck last year and it was a huge hit! I was asked to make it again this year. I haven't been able to find spanish nuts in our grocery store so I have used soy nuts and have had no complaints.

I doubled this right off the bat, using a whole head of cauliflower (because I hate having "half" of anything left, seems like it always gets wasted) and upped the rest of the salad ingredients accordingly then doubled the dressing. (Hub really liked the dressing and asked what was in it). I never make salads with both veggies and fruit but this just sounded "right" --and it was! Will use dry roasted peanuts next time, personal taste. Very tasty! Thank you.

Even my picky 16 yr old liked this one! The only change I have come to make is to use regular peanuts instead of Spanish peanuts, & I add a very small amount of pine nuts & sliced almonds to give a more crunchy taste. This salad is not just good but down right incredibile.

I altered this recipe a bit and loved the changes. I used sunflower seeds in place of the peanuts, substituted asparagus for the cauliflower, only used 1 cup of "light" mayo and used balsalmic vinegar instead of white wine.

If there were more stars I would give it more of them! Wow! What a great dish! We loved it! I couldn't find spanish peanuts,and I don't care for raw, so I used dry roasted peanuts instead...This is a real keeper! It will be made time and time again. I can't wait to fix it for church dinners, and company!
