Broccoli Salad

This is one of my most favorite recipes. But because the sunflower nuts are so small and tend to stick to the sides of the bowl, I usually substitute sliced almonds or pine nuts instead. The combination of flavors in this salad and dressing are delicious.

Excellent Salad!!!!!! Easy and a party pleaser. I took this to a family gathering, and everyone said that from now on this is the dish I always have to bring. I used regular mayonaise. Love the crunch and taste of the sunflowers with the boccoli and bacon. Flavors blended perfectly.

Made this for 4th of July. Excellent and not a bit left after the party. We don't have miracle whip in Sweden so I used mayonnaise and added a little extra sugar since miracle whip is sweeter than mayo. I used almonds instead of sunflower seeds and white wine vinegar as I couldn't find regular vinegar. Thanks!

This was super yummy! I added halved grape tomatoes, and left out the bacon. What a treat! Thanks!

YUM! I made this yesterday for a BBQ at the neighbors and it was received well. I lowered the calories and fat by eliminating the sunflower seeds, using Stevia in place of the sugar and swapped out the bacon for some shredded carrots and red bell pepper. Since I didn't have the flavor from the bacon, I added a little lemon pepper and some all purpose seasoning. Excellent stuff!!! Next time I will decrease the onion quite a bit, as I felt it was a bit overpowering. I also think some apple might do well in here. Just some thoughts!~

Very good-- I used about 1/3 of a purple onion and everything else as written. There were several men who looked at it and said "bacon salad- I love this stuff!" So it might need a new name.

This is such a surprisingly tasty combination! I used reduced fat mayo and Truvia sweetener, so it was even healthier! A great way to get more raw veggies in. I think the bacon did nothing more for this than to increase the fat content, so I'll leave it out next time.

My sister can't eat gluten, so this was a great alternative for her to those old standby pasta salads at BBQs. Great recipe!

Amazing!!! We've always made this for christmas since I was little so it was nice to see it was finally posted. My picky (allergic to nuts) husband loved it so much he just picked around the sunflower seeds, which was ALOT of work! Five stars, and I have no idea why it's not the #1 broccoli salad recipe.

Was a hit at a 4th of July get together. Used mayo, splenda blend instead of straight sugar and cider vinegar. Very similar to the broccoli salad at Soup Plantation. Loved it!! Will definitely be making this again.

Excellent. I had to leave out the raisins because of my kids and I used Duke's mayonnaise. Thanks for sharing.

Very good, I took this to a potluck last night and it was a big hit. This has the perfect amount of dressing, not too much, just enough to cover the veggies. Perfect. Thank you for posting.

I got this recipe from my ex-mother-in-law. We use regular mayo, not miracle whip. Also, we sometimes substitute pecans for the sunflower seeds, and use golden raisins or craisins instead of regular raisins. This is a family favorite at all our holiday meals.

Great taste, addicting, satisfies need for fiber and sunflower seeds. The only downside was that it was on the sweet side - which I noticed as I kept putting the fork in my mouth. Thanks for the recipe - it'll be one I use often.

I love this versatile salad! My in-laws and husband rated it five stars. I substituted 1/4 of sliced almonds for the sunflower seeds (didn't have any) and only put in 1/4 of an onion, finely diced. We thought it might have been too overpowering if a whole onion would have been used.

Soooooo good!! I bought already chopped broccoli and pre-cooked bacon so it as very easy to put together.

If I could I would give this 10 stars! I left out the sunflower seeds and used red onion. Also used 1/2 mayo and 1/2 miracle whip and golden raisins. I have made this twice in the last two weeks.
