Made this for a potluck tomorrow – looking for something on the side in the veggie family. Tastes great and looks great! Some changes I made include: I may have skimped just a tad on the sugar and I used chopped up pecans. Also did 8, not 12 bacon (low sodium) slices. I thought the amount of salad dressing was just right – no changes there.
This is so good it’s addictive. To the person who said there was way too much dressing, since the recipe doesn’t specify how much vegetables you’re supposed to use, they probably used way too little.
I candied the pecans and added 1/4 cup of raisins
Awesome! Just what I needed to use up a bag of broccoli and cauliflower! I didn’t have any sunflower seeds or pecans but it was still great! I used Ken’s creamy Italian
I make mine with Hidden valley ranch instead of Mayo, is a friend and family favorite! People always ask why it tastes so good
Made per recipe without changes. I enjoyed the combination of cauliflower and broccoli in this traditionally all broccoli salad. Have made it since and added raisins to it, very good. Thank you.
Wonderful Salad! Our family is eating vegetarian (ovo/lacto); so we left out the bacon and subbed in raisins for the texture and extra touch of sweetness. No one missed the bacon and we’re looking forward to leftovers for dinner tonight! Thank you!
Loved it . I did however made one change. I substituted the pecans or sunflower seeds for cashews.
I used red onion, turkey bacon, and pecans it was great. I will definitely make it again.
Oh mi GAWD! I mean, I’m sure I’ve had this in my life. It tastes so familiar. But tonight I did an ingredient search for bacon and cauliflower and came upon this and love how I don’t have to cook the broc or cauli, so the recipe keeps whatever nutrients. I used rice vinegar bc it was all I had. This is bomb and I will make it all the time now.
Loved it!
Easy to make. Used miracle whip life for creamy dressing. Our pecans instead of sunflower seeds added raisins.
Very tasty! This is a great salad! I needed a little extra dressing, though.
Loved it. Used grapes instead of raisins and pecans instead of almonds. The best ever!!!
exactly what I make except I haven’t tried it with sunflower seeds (might have to try that). The dressing I make is ½ cup mayo, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar & put the cheese in as you serve it so if you have left-overs the cheese doesn’t get slimy.
Love this salad. The only thing I did different was used Bacon bits and add golden raisins.
Delicious! Other similar recipes add shredded cheese and I had a block of blue cheese marble that I shredded and added about 3/4 cup. Nice complement to the bacon.
Fabulous!
Delicious just the way it is
Always a favorite!! Love seeing everyones variations!! Cooking creative. Art!! Cook on!!
I switched the sugar with stevia but it was a little too sweet, so next time I’ll cut that amount in half. I roasted some slivered almonds and used those instead of sunflower nuts. Same effect as sunflower nuts, just as good.
