Fantastic! We love this recipe. Can't wait to take it to church dinners. I substitued pecans once and we liked that too.

With modifications, this has become my picky husband's favorite vegetable! For starters, this needs more sugar if using a cup of mayo (like about 1/2 cup of sugar). Secondly, I use (re-hydrated) dried cranberries instead of raisins (just makes it more colorful & the sweetness of the cransins completes the tangy, sweet dressing!) I also add 1/2 onion, chopped fine & 8oz. grated mozzarella. Oh! and you've GOT to add 8-10 strips of bacon, cooked crisp & crumbled! That REALLY makes it!

This is very tasty, my sister made it for our father's day celebration. It's just as good the next day. Since she used veganaise instead of mayo, we had a vegan version and no one even knew the difference!

This didn't go over very well for me. The apple cider vinegar was just too overwhelming. I didn't have peanuts, so I toasted sunflower seeds & slivered almonds. I used a sweet red onion and less sugar. As is, I didn't care for it, so I cooked up some bacon & added a bit of fresh lemon juice. I'll use a different vinegar next time. To me this was all sweet with no sour.

I've used walnuts instead of peanuts, but either way this recipe is always a winner.

I've made a salad very simular to this one before. However, for me if I steam the broccoli a little it seems to enhance the flavor. Broccoli is so good for us, that it is wonderful to have many variations.

Very interesting flavor with the peanuts and raisins. I didn't follow the recipe exactly, and it still turned out great!

I give this five stars. I dislike when people review a recipe and do a zillion modifications, but . . . we have a horrible sweet-tooth in this house, so I had to add more sugar (blushes). I blame us, not the recipe. I like how you can eyeball this too. I had two broccoli heads and didn't want to waste them, so after assembling the recipe as written (perfect!) I tossed the extra in. No problem. My 11 year old son liked this so much, he had some for "dessert" later in the evening!! Thanks for sharing.
