This is pretty good. I added salt and pepper because it is a little bland. Thanks for the recipe.
Tracy Davenport
I incorporated ingredients from another recipe, like bacon and a dash of white Modena vinegar. I blanched the broccoli by dropping it in boiling water for 1 minute.
William Robertson
Good but I would double the dressing next time.
Aaron Elliott
I tried brocoli salad from the store and liked it so i decided to make some of my own… But this tasted WAY better! plus it was simple enough to make. Overall, it was a good and healthy-ish recipe.
Connie Jackson
This salad was good. I agree with others to double the dressing. I also added extra sunflower seeds and extra raisins. The amount shown wasn’t quite enough.
Mr. Jacob Marshall
This recipe is great. I also added bits of bacon. It is awesome.
Scott Williams
I’m only giving this recipe 3 stars because of the dressing. While it’s a good base, a lot of altering has to be done to get the taste right, especially if you’re looking for something sweeter. Double the dressing recipe, as another reviewer recommended because the broccoli does seem to soak up the liquid.
Aaron Compton
Very tasty dish. I followed the recipe nearly as written except I substituted dried cranberries for raisins as we don’t care for raisins and left out the yogurt for my lactose-intolerant Mom. I added a little sea salt and ground black pepper, and about 1/4 C of raspberry balsamic vinegar for added depth. I let it chill overnight and everyone enjoyed this dish for Easter luncheon.

Our family really enjoyed this salad. Tangy and refreshing! A nice change from most of the broccoli salad recipes that are loaded with mayo and bacon. Since I had to peel an orange for the juice for dressing, I cut up the remaining segments and put into the salad. I left out the raisins just thought it would be weird with the orange… I loved the combination of orange and broccoli! Next time I’ll make more to make sure there’s leftovers. I also added toasted pumpkin seeds as well as sunflower. Healthy and delicious, thank you for the great recipe! Update: for those looking for a little extra flavour; the dressing definitely needs salt and pepper, I also use srping onions and put them right in the dressing. Made again last evening and put a pinch of cayenne in the dressing, might be that little extra some of you are looking for!

This is a great salad and so healthy. I used NonFat-vanilla yogurt instead of plain and doubled it. Skipped the OJ and doubled the mayo…..turned out GREAT.

Oustanding! I made this for a family event, it was popular. In fact, I was asked to make it again. I do recommend adding more broccli. It seems to obsorb fast.
Julie Jones
Really good, I added chicken-bacon, and substituted caesar dressing
Deanna Romero
Love this recipe; easy to make.
Charles Russell
I made this recipe for my T.O.P.S. group, and it was very favourably received. I would recommend it for calorie reduced diets.
Jennifer Ewing
A good base recipe, but a bit dry. Doubled yogurt and mayo, but added no additional orange juice. Also added dried cranberries. Family loved it and healthy too
Anthony Jones
No flavor do not make again
Cheyenne Lee
Got what I expected. Nothing out of the ordinary…just plain good.
James Shaffer
Not enough flavor for me, but you definitly get your broccolie serving in.
Brian Brooks
Good combination of ingredients in the salad, however, I thought the dressing was bland. I took one suggestion and even let it sit in the refrigerator for several hours before eating to blend the flavors. This is not one I will make again.
Breanna Bush
This has to be made well ahead if you want the best results. My husband disliked it the first day…but cleaned the bowl three days later!
John Smith
It just tasted strange to me with the orange juice. Next time I’ll try something else!
