delicious!!! Because i am a vegetarian i used soy "bacon" in place of the regular bacon - it was great. I also used both golden and regular raisins just for a bit of visual appeal. great recipe.

This recipe is a favorite of mine and for years I have taken it to every potluck we go to and everyone loves it...never any left. I toast the sunflower seeds first before adding them and add a little sugar to mayo. I have had others report to me that they use salad drrsg. and that it is better with the real mayo.

I took this to a potluck. Most of the broccoli salad's I have made in the past had some sugar in them, so was worried about leaving that out with all the onions, but it was excellent just as written. Everyone loved it and there were no leftovers to take home. Thanks!

Variations of this salad are listed several times here on Zaar. I want everyone to know this is delicious. Wanted to post it myself, but I think it is taken care of.
