I am not much of a broccoli fan, but this salad was delicious! Just the right amount of sweetness to the dressing. Lots of crunchy goodness.

Used a light mayonnaise and light sour cream blend, splenda and no vinegar. Really good flavor and crunch

This was a nice compliment to my summer salad bar. I did leave out the onions and celery, I just didn't think the combination would compliment the grapes. My humble opinion of course. Thanks for posting, and I hope you like the picture.
