Broccoli Salad With Gouda

Made this as given, & really enjoyed this flavorful salad! I did use the almonds & stuck with the gouda! Definitely a salad I'd enjoy making for some special dinner guests another time! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag]

I doubled the recipe and took this to a BBQ at a friends and it was a big hit! I usually do not like to take new recipes to parties, or serve to guests before making it for us at home first, but this salad is great and I knew it would be loved once I mixed it up and tried it. The only thing I changed was I only used about half the dressing. Going into my best of 2011 cookbook! Made for I Recommed Tag.

Well, Parse...you've gone and done it again. Brought goodness and nourishment to the farm table, full of tender broccoli, beautiful maters' and mellow gouda. What a marriage! I didn't change one thing, except use some Vidalia sweet onion, because I forgot to use red. Oh well, you can't really tell the difference because the broccoli is the name of the game, and the combo of veggies mixed with this dressing? Well, I'll tell you....it's out of this world!!

Made for ZWT 7. Lovely salad! Made for lunch. I'd say Parsley's instruction to blanch the broccoli for 1 minute should be followed closely: my little florets came out so beautifully dark green. Made exactly as given. Tonight we'll have the rest with fried fish and potatoes. A healthy, crunchy salad -- as if you even needed 1 more review, Parsley!! LOL! And thanks!

Made for ZWT and loved this salad. It is pretty and easy to make and the Gouda is a very nice addition to this salad.

Very pleasing salad!! Not only do all the flavors come together exceptionally well but we also found that the light blanching of the broccoli left the crunch while removing the raw bite broccoli can sometimes have. Made as written using smoked Gouda and slivered almonds. Will make again, thanks for the post.

Tasty! I used toasted sesame seeds, since there's a nut sensitivity in the house, and it worked well for providing something crunchy. We steamed the broccoli instead of boiling, so it went even faster. This was a nice alternative to the mayonnaise-based broccoli salad I found earlier this year. We didn't find the leftovers kept well, as the dressing made the cheese go soggy, so I'd advise keeping them separate if you intend to not eat them right away.

Great salad! I really enjoyed the flavors and textures in this simple salad. I used smoked gouda and almonds and made this ahead of time and refrigerated until serving time. I added the cheese and almonds right before serving. Thanks Parsley. Made by an Unruly Under the Influence for ZWT6 Family Picks.

This was just fantastic! Really hit the spot for me. I've been trying to work more salads into my diet and was fast getting tired of the leafy greens with a sprinkling of veggies on top. This really mixed it up in a good way. Thanks for the great recipe!

Very tasty & refreshing. I left out the tomatoes since I don't like them, and used monterrey jack cheese instead of the gouda. I think I overcooked the broccoli a tad, so I'll be more careful next time.

Really tasty and enjoyable. Used reg gouda and toasted almonds. The grape tomatoes especially liven things up here, as they are sooo tasty. Yum. Appreciate you posting this recipe, Parsley.

This was a nice light tasty salad. It was a nice change from the usual broccoli mayo type salad. Thanks for a great recipe.

I loved the combination of the ingredients, but would change the quantities of the ingredients slightly as well as changing the dressing. I have increased the cherry tomatoes to 3/4 cup, but may increase it to 1 cup next time. I used toasted pine nuts, but found 1/2 cup rather a lot. I also found the quantity of the cheese in relation to the vegetables rather on the large side. I used nearly 6 ounces which was ok, but I would have been happy with less as well. However, I did enjoy the gouda in this salad and I've never had gouda before. I would try to pack a little bit more flavour into the dressing next time, in particular if served as part of a buffet or dinner party. This is a salad that I might make again and just adapt to my taste. It made 2 nice packed lunches. Thank you.

This was great! I love the hint of dressing. I didn't actually measure my broccoli though so I may have ended up with more than suggested. I will make this one again and again. I think this one will come with me to my family reunion in August. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is a wonderful side dish! We loved the flavor of the smoked cheese with the dressing!! I chopped the veggies and cheese much smaller than the picture suggests...wonderful flavors! Thank you

I thought this was just perfect. I made it exactly as written. The lighter dressing allowed for the Gouda flavor to come through, and I liked the contrast of textures from the cheese to the crunchy almonds with the veggies inbetween. This will go in my favorite salads cookbook. Thanks for posting a great recipe.
