     I make a version very similar to this, and it's always delish!! I use apple cider vinigar instead of white, instead of sugar I use honey, and for the creaminess I substitute half the mayo for greek yogurt. It's always popular at picnics!! - 6/10/11

     I make this salad all the time and I just love it, I do do something different I blanh the brocolli and add yhe dressing while it is still hot(it seems to get into the brocolli better. I also skip the raisans and add cubed low fat chedder cheese - 5/12/08

     I used low fat Hellman's and substituted Craisins for raisins and sunflower seeds for almonds, and it was delicious. I think I will try red onions next time and maybe almonds. Definitely a recipe I will use again and again. - 10/23/12

     I reduced the sugar to 2T and used apple cider vinegar for more tang. Instead of raisins, I had some craisins. I also blanched the broccoli and mixed it all together while warm. Set it in the fridge to cool. Awesome addition to our grilled chicken dinner. - 4/26/12

     This is what I have been looking for. Tried this salad at a wedding and the ingredients vary so much from recipe to recipe. - 8/25/20

     I don't like raisins so I substitute with dried cranberries - 6/28/17
  • ZENIGMAZ
     We weren't keen on the dressing. Just sugar and vinegar doesn't go with such great ingredients. I'll try the suggestion to use honey and cider vinegar with yogurt for creaminess - 3/9/17
  • NORASPAT
     I make this often. I do it for company and they ask for the recipe. I half the sugar we have diabetic friends and it works. Pat in Maine. - 8/4/13

     I've made this salad for years. I use broccoli "slaw" - shredded and in a bag in the produce section. The slaw also uses the tender stems from the broccoli. Makes a really fast salad. - 7/11/13

     I make a version of this that also uses grapes. Good if you like it sweet. - 8/7/12
  • TORAMPAUL
     I will try this again. I found it too sweet--will use less sugar. I also used low-fat dressing instead of fat-free so I will try fat-free next time for fewer calories and fat grams. Overall, a tasty way to enjoy broccoli! - 7/24/12

     Loved this salad. Used turkey bacon, substituted 1/3 C of mayo w/plain greek yogurt, 1/3C mayo w/wasabi mayo (Trader Joe's) and cut the sugar in half. Also added cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumbers. My husband finished it off! - 7/9/11
