My sister gave me the recipe. And I was amazed the first time I did it. We couldn’t get enough of the beef curry I served with it. It was simply amazing. Be careful not to overheat the panna coladas and burn them.

I served this for a friend lunch visit and it was a success. I omitted the raisins for cranberries and used chocolate yogurt since that’s what I had on hand. I liked the addition of feta cheese.
I have to make a double recipe of this as my other half and son eat it up really quickly. My other half’s son eats broccoli only this way. He has always driven me nuts with his pickiness and non veggie eating habits. I may have to triple the recipe in the future. I use craisin and lots of bacon. I also use vanilla greek yogurt and 1/2 the sugar as it is sweeter. If I don’t have feta cheese I use cotija which I always have on hand.
I added bacon bits, but other than that it was an awesome salad. I make a batch for snacking on instead of eating a bag of Cheetos. Not only is it delicious, but I could feel my body respond better to healthier eating. Basically I felt great physically after eating this salad versus junk food.
Didn’t work for me? Feta cheese is odd in this salad. I think it has potential and I also like that it is lower in calories and fat than several other recipes. I will change it drastically next time I make it.
I love this recipe. If you are trying to add vegetables to your meal, this is the perfect recipe. I didn’t make any changes to the recipe.
Easy salad that everyone (even kids) will like! I made a couple of updates: – Cut florets to very small pieces – Used dried cranberries instead of raisins and cut the sugar – Added more Feta and cut out the extra salt
This was a great salad to bring to a pot luck. I added crumbled bacon to it because bacon just makes everything taste better!
My family loved this. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins just because I like them better.
used sour cream
I have made this many, many times. I often double the recipe and bring it to pot luck dinners. I have also added ‘craisins’ instead of raisins, and salted pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds.
This is the same recipe that my Mum uses for broccoli salad and it’s my favourite version. She typed it out for me several years ago, lost hers, and had to call me for the dressing ingredients! My sister has been replacing the feta with grated cheddar and it adds a nice flavour. Thanks for posting, kelcampbell!
Skip seeds, raisins and feta. Tasty and healthy.
Added 1 tsp of organic sugar because it’s not at sweet. I don’t think I will add any sugar next time. Does not need it.
Very good.
Delicious. I used Greek yogurt, which worked beautifully.
We loved the salad. It was a little sweet, next time we will add less sughr. We like the idea of using cranberries. We added chicken to the salad and made a meal out of it.
perfect!! I used bacon in place of the cheese and dried cranberries in place of the raisins. Left out the onion so my husband would eat it. Wonderful recipe!
This is a nice, refreshing salad that would be great for on the go. The preparation time is quick, about 10 minutes. Instead of using the sunflower seeds, I used the sunflower kernels, and I also substituted American cheese instead of feta cheese. This is a light, healthy dish. For the sauce you could also not add the sugar to make it healthier. This would also be great for summer, on those hot days in the sun.
Just made this as a side dish for dinner tonight! I doubled the recipe so I would have leftovers for lunch this week. And I used plain GREEK yogurt instead of regular yogurt and Splenda instead of white sugar. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!!!! 🙂
This dressing is perfect. I only had almonds & goat cheese so substituted those, I didn’t chop the raisins & I added orange slices & this was a great salad.
Delicious!! Add bacon!!! Didn’t have any feta though and used golden raisins as I don’t like regular ones. Came out great!! Will definitely use again. Maybe trying dried cranberries instead of raisins next time. And adding walnuts next time too. Thanks for sharing!!!
