Spring Salad

Without grapes, I used blueberries & strawberries & it was delicious!

This recipe is absolutely delicious exactly as it is written! I did cut it in half since it was just my husband and myself. It still was enough for us for 2 meals. I will make this again and again, we both loved it.

I have a broccoli salad similar to this one but without the grapes. I liked the idea and it was something a bit different. Everyone loved it. Will make it again.

Delicious combination of ingredients. I used a light vinegar/oil cilantro dressing as a family member can’t have mayonnaise. Served on a bed of spinach. Turned out great.

Perfect for our Easter brunch. I used the suggestion of adding orange zest to the dressing and that was perfect. So easy and so good, thanks.

The first time we made this salad we followed the instructions exactly EXCEPT that following others’ suggestions, we added only one tablespoon of sugar to the dressing, which was enough. We’ve made it many times since, and have freely added other fruits, romaine lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, nuts — depending on what’s on hand. Always good. Add the bacon at the very last second or it gets too soft

I tweaked the recipe a bit by adding mandarin orange zest and a bit of juice to the dressing. I also blanched the broccoli florets to make them a bit softer and give them that vibrant green look! The result was absolutely delicious! Nice and light! The flavours co-mingle wonderfully!

Delicious. Great for a meal on its own or a side at a party.

I made it exactly to recipe. I found it a bit too sweet. Next time, I will use less grapes or remove them altogether. I think the salad would keep longer without them and the raisins add enough sweetness.

Wonderful! For a change, next time I may toast the almonds and add oranges.I plan to take this to my book club pot luck next month.

This was REALLY good. We didn’t quite follow it to a T (red onions instead of green, sunflower seeds instead of almonds, red wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar), but it was a big hit with my family!

This is a GOOD salad, but I have two other similar salads that I like even better, so I am not saving this one.

Made this salad when we had friends over for a braai. I didn’t change anything from the original recipe and everybody loved it – even the men and children. The flavors work perfectly together. Definitely a winner!

This salad is amazing! Made just as stated minus the red grapes and it was delicious!!!!

I did not expect to be impressed because the dressing did not sound appetizing, but it was fantastic. Used craisins and only purple grapes. Making it for the second time now to take in my lunch.

I made this salad once for a barbecue. It was gone before the potatoe salad. An awesome addition to my summer dinner menu.

This is sublime. Followed the recipe except for the celery (which we dislike). I would eat this every day for the rest of my life:-)

I’ve been making this recipe for a couple of years now. I’ve made it as described and it’s wonderful! It’s also very versatile though. Sometimes I don’t add the sugar (we’re paleo), sometimes I make my own mayo. Sometimes I swap out cranberries for the raisins or walnuts for the pecans. It’s just flexible and relatively healthy.

It was good. I waited and put the bacon on until I was ready to serve it so that it would stay crisp and not be soggy.

Excellent taste and looks. If you aren’t quite happy with the dressing, mix it together a few hours before, and chill it. This lets the sugar completely dissolve. Add to the salad right before serving. Gourmet quality!

This is the BEST broccoli salad I have ever had. I had so many people comment on hoe
