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

Great Salad! I replaced the almonds for sunflower seeds, sugar for splenda and regular mayonnaise with fat free mayonnaise. Great Taste! Thanks for the great recipe!!

A great combination of ingredients that both of us enjoyed very much. What's not to like? Being able to make this well ahead of a meal makes it convenient too. Or make the salad ahead and add the dressing just an hour or less before serving.
