Such a yummy dish!! I just added green onions instead of red, L.O.V.E. it!!!!! -
I've had this recipe at picnics and wanted to make it myself, we had it with barbecue pork, freshly made apple sauce and gooseberry pie for dessert. This salad is a wonderful accompaniment to picnic menu (indoor or outdoor) I also added to the broccoli by adding one package of the shredded broccoli slaw (for color and more shapes and textures) very tasty dish, and easy to make! -
This is a very tasty recipe. I loved the combination of flavors, especially the cranberries and bacon. Salty/Sweet is always a wonderful treat for me. I made this with the sunflower seeds, but I toasted them first. The dressing is similar to the one I use on my cole slaw, and it was wonderful here in this salad. Every ingredient in this salad is a must. Definately a dish to repeat! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. -
Good stuff. I usually use raisins and I don't use sunflower seeds. -

I am a fitness instructor with a passion for cooking. I love to take recipes and see if I can convert them to something a little lighter but still tastes great.
