Reviews
This salad has lots of flavor and everyone at the cookout loved it. I made it with 1/4 cup dill weed (because a review said it was a lot), and substituted crazens for the cherries and walnuts for the salted peanuts (because that’s what I had on hand). I whipped up the salad dressing the day before making the salad and refrigerated it over night to give it a chance for all the flavors to meld together. Next morning, I tossed the salad ingredients together then drizzled on the dressing. I mixed all ingredient to coat well, then covered the salad bowl with wrap and refrigerated it for a few hours until I served it at the cookout. It was loaded with flavor and everyone loved it. I will definitely make it again.
Dry, not my cup of tea
Simple, yummy, and a definite crowd pleaser!
I love it! Is’t quick ans easy
Great!
So much better than I was expecting!! The broccoli was crisp and the sauce was not overpowering! Definitely planning on making this again!
This is delicious, however I blanched the broccoli for 2-3 minutes. This year I am also going to dice the onion for those that are picky eaters (potluck) and may be intimidated by the large slices of onion.
Broccoli Salad is absolutely outstanding!
Delicious!
Delicious! I did not have a red onion so I substituted a white one, and added sunflower seeds. My husband and neighbor loved it served with BBQ chicken this evening! I will definitely make this one again!
Good!
