Just a little tip.. whenever i take this dish to church functions, etc.. I put my broccoli in the food processor and pulse it a few times.. It's more enjoyable if you are not trying to bite and chew down the big pieces of broccoli.. Older people love it because they usually have a lot of dental work, etc. :)

I have made this for years, love it. I lightly steam my broccoli first. People appreciate that. Nutrients are more available and it is easier to eat. Thanks!

My sister-in-law makes this dish in virtually every party and I love it.

Made it today. Best broccoli anything that I’ve ever had!

I’ve made this salad since I was about 14, so wow, forty years! It’s a family favorite for gatherings and I’ve tweaked it with different dried fruits, nuts but I tend to never change the broccoli, red onion and the homemade dressing. Always good fresh, even better the next day, so if I’m voluntold to make it, it’s always ahead of time to prep the day before, lol!

I was graced with the recipe from a church friend, her husband was our bishop, they were beautifully aged even then. She’d had the recipe for decades. I’ve shared the salad and the recipe all this time because it’s just so good!

Hi guys - if you've been following my Instagram stories this is the salad that I've been eating over and over for the last two weeks. It's SO darn good! In fact, I think I'll have to make it again this weekend and take it to the beach. Hope you have a wonderful week! xo - Lisa

Great recipe! I would lightly steam my broccoli keeping it's crunch instead of raw. It still is a good salad 😊

Just made this salad for my daughter's graduation party. I had to tweak it a bit due to ingredients I had on hand, but basically the same, and I could have made TWICE the amount I did! People LOVE this salad - I had folks asking for the recipe & several told me "I don't even LIKE broccoli"!! Thank you!

This is a wonderful recipe. I add carrots for color. It has the best flavor profile and nice crunchiness. A winning recipe.

Broccoli salad!! A southern backyard BBQ party staple!!!

[garthmartens]

Perfect. We made it with chicken and Raisins as we didn't have bacon and cranberries. Delicious. Thank you

[rociothompson]

Thank you Lisa for a delicious and easy recipe. I made it for my church group of ladies. Everyone raved about it. Thank you 🙏

[raineynight]

Yum! Throw some diced apple in and even better.

[LiseGray-lc]

Lisa, this is a great recipe, this broccoli recipe, is the same as my partner usually makes, but without the bacon, also she adds, red peanuts for a crunch! she's had a lot of compliments over it... I'm going to make it the way you do next time! thank you

[bellababygirl]

Just made this...even the mayo, it's ridiculously easy and delish!!! I didn't have the exact same ingredients but that speaks to the versatility of this recipe, next time I'm going to use dried cherries

I've been in a food rut lately and the recipes on your channel are giving me life girl! 🥰❤

[jrmint]

This is a really old recipe. I made this 25 years ago 🙂. Great to see it come back.

Missing the 😍😍 HIGHLY recommend. My mom uses sliced almonds instead of sunflower and doesn’t add cheese it’s heaven and edible crack
