Curry Broccoli Salad

Submitted by mrib9329

"The best broccoli sadad I've had! I have cheated and used precooked bacon crumbles. Works just as well. Also I have replaced about 1/2 of the mayo with yogurt. This recipe is so good."

Fantastic addition to the holiday dinner, substituted dried Cranberry for the Cherry Like a bit more curry next time.

I chose this recipe for Pick A Chef. I substituted bacon bits for the bacon and dried apricots as I couldn't find dried cherries at the store. We enjoyed the salad, but I think next time I'll add in a bit more curry powder and maybe some garlic powder.
