Broccoli Salad

Blog and photo update: 10/06/2016

You will never want to have another broccoli salad again after eating this one. This is one is always gone within minutes. This is such a simple recipe you probably already have almost all the ingredients at your home. It has just a hint of sweetness and semi salty and even your child will forget they are eating broccoli. Make this today, now or if you are not going to listen to me make it when you feel like it but you will not be disappointed. 

Also please check out this amazing website that has tons of information about broccoli, if you want to learn the history, how it grows, facts, nutrition facts, and more broccoli recipes this place is it.

    I had a similar broccoli salad a ladies event recently. It was the BEST broccoli salad I've ever had. It had bacon, so how could it not be good. =) I'm pinning so I will remember to try this.

    Yo have a cute blog. I will be following!

    Nothing clean or healthy about bacon! Omit that and it sounds great.

      Why? You don't save many calories and it doesn't have the same flavor and crunch.

    Made this tonight and 4 out of 5 family members loved it and it takes getting creative for them to eat broccoli. My son groaned but ate his portion, he couldn't handle the red onions and the bacon gave it the kick it needed for my kids to dive in. We omitted the raisins.

    I've made this but used the Vidalia Onion dressing as the sauce. Delicious either way!

    Thank you for this. This looks like the same salad that our local Whole Foods sells and as you can guess quite expensive. Great to have the recipe! And I can leave out the red onions that I usually pick out. :o)

    I LOVE raisins but I hate them in things. I'm not a fan of bacon either, but Target has a salad like this w/ bacon in it and it's amazing. I'm hoping it's like their recipe because its' perfect! They also have shreded cheddar cheese in theirs. I will omit the raisins and add the cheese! Can't wait to try :)

    I have a similar recipe but with a lot more bulk to it...we use broccoli (of course), bacon, red onion, edamame beans, tortellini, box of small pasta shells, chunks of cheddar and the dressing is almost the same (mayo, vinegar and sugar)...it's usually gone within minutes!!!! Love it.

    I make a similar recipe but use fruit vinegar instead of regular vinegar, and cashews instead of sunflower seeds. I also add sugar to the mayonaise, instead the the honey. I will have to try some of the other suggestions that all sound so yummy!

    It is delicious. I've made this for years. I omit the raisins, add cheddar, and use a little Splenda in place of the sugar.

    Looks like the salad Souplantation makes and sells to Costco in the Palm Springs, CA area. Im going to give it a try tonight but will use unflavored rice vinegar in stead of white vinegar.

    Substitute the honey with stevia, cut out the bacon, use lite mayo, it still has too many calories. Blah and it sounds sooooooo good!

    We just had a variation of this tonight. I had broccoli, bacon pieces, chopped onion and peppers, a handful of pumpkin seeds, a few crushed tortilla chips, and some buttermilk light ranch dressing. It was very good and there was actually a discussion on who got to finish it! :)

      Loved the salad! I brought it to my bookclub and they gobbled It down. For me personally, I'm going to cut down on the mayo due to guilt attack; otherwise, I'm making it just like recipe when serving others. Thanks for sharing this no fail recipe! YUM!!!!!!
