This salad was very good! I used the grapes and they imparted a nice sweet juice to the dressing. I used bacon bits and a mixture of cauliflower and broccoli. I used scallions in place of the red onions. Thanks for a lovely lunch!

This is surprisingly good. Better with every bite. My friend made it using raisins instead of grapes. Delicious, and pretty! Thank you.

I have made this delicious salad many times but never got around to rating it!! It is too die for and so easy to put together ... it has been a hit every time I bring it to functions. I didn't change one thing!! Thanks so much for sharing CountryLady. :-)

I gave this 5 stars. My family loves this. My mom-inlaw gave me the recipe. Our local deli sells this at $2-$3.00 a pound. We do not use grapes or sunflower seeds in ours. We also use a little milk to thin out the mayonnaise. I don't like this creamy and thick but thin like a dressing. Great summer dish. Thanks for posting christine (internetnut)
