Broccoli Salad

"My sister in law made this for a family gathering. I was so impressed that I bugged her for the recipe. I did lighten it up a bit for those of us eating healthier. Don't worry not all of my recipies are sinless. Enjoy!"

  1. Made this for hubby's office party, and they all but licked the bowl and asked for the recipe. Thanks for posting!!
     
  2. I made this to take to a barbeque this past weekend. I didn't have mayo, so had to use Miracle Whip. I cut the sugar back to 1/3 cup, but should've cut back a bit more because it was still too sweet and ended up having to add more sour cream. I subbed craisins for raisins and added a bit of shredded old cheddar. What a yummy salad! Everyone loved it and I was sad to see that there was very little left over for me to take home because I enjoyed it so much! Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  3. I love eating broccoli like this! Raw broccoli is healthy too. I too used balsamic vinegar, and added a few crumbles of Velveeta cheese. No one else will eat this so I get it all to myself! ;) Thanks Amber!
     
  4. Try using Splenda instead of sugar to reduce calories. Carole in Orlando
     
  5. I love this salad, however, I went for real bacon, and used balsamic vinegar instead of the regular.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Arizona. Cooking is a relaxing hobby and I love finding healthy meals that have a lot of flavor and heart to them. Recipezaar has not let me down. I could not possibly pick a favorite cookbook. I love searching used bookstores for old cookbooks. I collect other cookbooks that look intresting or have healthy dishes. My collection is modest, but I love it. Also, I love the Taste of Home magazines. They have real food that real people cook. I would have to say my pet peeves are people who drive while talking on cell phones and people who cannot spell potato. It is p o t a t o not p o t a t o e. There is no e unless you are spelling the plural form of potato which is potatoes. I frequently see that word mispelled in recipes and it makes me think the recipe is somehow devalued because of the spellings. The Zaar system of ratings works for me. I do try to explain myself in my reviews and welcome any questions or comments on what I have said. It is not my intention to be mean-spirited if I did not like something (it is rare for me not to like a recipe though):) Recipezaar brings such a nice element to my life and I feel it has been enriched by the wealth of knowledge both in everyone's contributed recipes and on the forums. Also, it is such a nice feature that you can log on practically any time to get help with a recipe or ingredient that might otherwise be imtimidating to prepare by yourself.</p>
