  1. This tasted wonderful. I especially enjoyed the addition of raisins & the balsamic/ curry dressing. The dressing made it different than other broccoli salads I've tried. It was best served fresh so next time I might add the dressing to just enough of the veggies for a single meal. The addition of other veggies (red peppers, carrots, purple onion?) might create a more colorful dish for a potluck or gathering, but the taste is great as is. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
     
  2. Made for the FF&F FYC Tag Game because I've rarely made a broccoli salad that I didn't love. This version ranks as 1 of my top 2 faves of the genre. I made 2 sml chgs --- I left out the sunflower seeds as DH is not a fan, but I think pine nuts would be an excellent sub for them. I also added some sml diced sweet red onion. Combining the salad & veggie parts of a meal is 1 of my favorite things to do for us & when we entertain. It keeps meals from getting too heavy plus it adds flavors & texture. Loved this recipe, breezermom. Thx for sharing it w/us.
     
  3. I love this salad. I kept the curry and celery and it was just perfect for us. I did substitute low-fat mayonnaise and used Splenda instead of the sugar. Since we had turkey bacon, that's what went in and it was wonderful. This is making its way into my best of 2013 cookbook! Made for Photo Tag game.
     
  4. I was with Boomette in leaving out the curry, although another time I might include it but cut back on the amount! Also liked Mikekey's use of cranberries, even though this time around I made the salad with the raisins! Definitely a winner here, & I'm including it in my Best of 2012 cookbook! D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S to a fault! Many thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag]
     
  5. This was a hit! Great flavors and textures. I subbed dried cranberries for the raisins, as we don't care for raisins. The little bit of tartness was nice from the cranberries.
