This is a tried and true recipe that was passed on to me from my grandmother's friend and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like it (even the broccoli haters). We've jokingly referred to this recipe as "Munchkin Broccoli" on account of the fact it gets all four of my kids to eat broccoli. The greatest part about this salad is that it gets better and better every day (if there's any left after the first day!)

This is delish. Even my kids eat every bite. I use pecans instead of sunflower seeds, but that is just a personal preference.

We really enjoyed this recipe but found that our wonderful 'extras' far outlasted our small head of broccoli. Next time to get the right proportions, I'd use either one large head or a couple smaller heads of broccoli.

Great recipe. I used apples instead of raisins and I also added some cheddar cheese. It was a big hit at my house!

One of my new favorites. I just love this. Quite easy and delicious. Had this for 4th of July, daughters birthday and Labor Day. A new family favorite.
