This is the best broccoli salad ever. I use raisins, red onions and bacon. I eat this for every meal until it is all gone. Splenda works out well if you're watching your sugar intake.

I just went to my nephew's graduation party and my sister made a broccoli salad. She added the bacon, raisins and sunflower seeds and the salad was absolutely delicious! All should give it a try...you won't be dissapointed.

I picked this for the chef of the day game. I used just cauliflower cause it was on hand, added the sunflower seeds, celery, green bell pepper, bacon bits, cubes of cheddar cheese, and raisins. Delicious! Thanks for posting!
