Submitted by Chelsi Swerin

"You have to try this recipe! This is by far the best salad I have ever had. Even though some of the ingredients may sound like they dont belong together, they sure do taste great together. The 2 hours cooking time is letting the salaad set up in the fridge."

I have made this several times, and it is always a hit. I used red onions for color. Sometimes, if I am in a hurry, I toss in real bacon bits rather than frying bacon. Not quite as tasty, but still good.

I love this salad.The grapes taste wonderful in it. I have used red grapes as well.I make this salad often and don't have to change a thing.

Recently took this to a family gathering and it was a hit. I could have eaten the whole thing! I used light mayo and Splenda in the dressing. People who don't usually care for broccoli enjoyed this salad. Thanks!

This recipe is almost identical to a broccoli salad I recently fell in love with at a local resturaunt! I omitted the grapes and almonds, and used purple onion instead of green, to be like the one Im used to eating. Its delicious! I used about six strips of bacon, and increased the broccoli to three cups, because it looked like I had a lot of raisins and dressing for only two cups of broccoli, without the grapes and nuts. Next time, I'll make sure to try it exactly like the recipe to make it even livelier. I HIGHLY recommend this salad!!
