My sis-in-law always makes this salad for family parties, and I keep forgetting to ask her for the recipe...but then, I found THIS recipe and tried it - SUCCESS!!! It's exactly the same! I only had Miracle Whip on hand (instead of Mayonnaise), which made it a bit sweeter, but other than that, it was amazing! And my 2-yr-old boy LOVED it - I didn't think he'd take too well to the raw broccoli, but the sweetness of the dressing and the raisins toned down the "broccoli" taste. I will make this salad over and over again! TY! -
This broccoli salad has a great taste. The dressing is perfect. I omitted the salt. With the toasted almonds it was yummy. Thanks Doug :) Made for Market tag game -
Made just as directed (for a change *blush*) and it was great. Can't think of anything that I'd change. Great veggie side with the grilled burgers tonight. You can't go wrong with this salad. -
I've made this salad with pecans, sunflower seeds, and now toasted almonds. Always delicious! I used no fat mayo and real bacon instead of bacon bits....just don't like those. Wonderful salad! Thanks for sharing. -
Amazing, I didn't know we can eat broccoli raw. But it's actually good! It's crunchy, love the almonds in it as it gives it a nutty flavor and the salad's sweet and delicious. Didn't have celery so didn't add it and opted out on the bacon bits. So easy and yet so good! Thanks!
