    It seems a little dry but perhaps I should have used a larger bottle of salad dressing but the recipe did not indicate the size. - 2/7/10

    Try green bell peppers I don't know the potassium numbers for green bell peppers but that is what I use in my pasta instead of broccoli - 6/26/09

    THE SODIUM CONTENT IS WAY TOO HIGH! MAYBE, IF YOU MUST USE A DRESSING, MAKE UP YOUR OWN SO THAT YOU CAN CONTROL THE SODIUM. ALSO, I AM ON A LOW-POTASSIUM DIET AND WILL HAVE TO ELIMINATE THE BROCCOLI. CAN ANYONE OFFER ME A GREAT SUBSTITUTION? - 1/5/09

    My whole family, including my 1yr old, loved this! Add a light sprinkle of feta cheese for extra flavor and calcium. It doesn't add much fat if you only use a handful or so for the entire thing. - 5/30/08
