I took it to a bbq and it received many compliments. I followed the recipe exactly except I used a couple extra slices of bacon.

My husband and I both loved this, though my son (who's normally a broccoli fan) was not keen on the cranberries. I was happy to have leftovers for lunch this week!

Love this salad. A nice change to the usual mayo dressing types. No changes needed here!

My boyfriend has been trying to lighten up and eat healthier, but he does not like raw broccoli and I am not fond of it either. I blanched the broccoli for 2 minutes as a few people had recommended in previous comments and it was perfect. We both loved it! It was also easy to make and what little we had left tasted better the next day. Great light recipe!

This salad was instantly adopted as a favorite at our house and my companion has requested it be served on a weekly basis.

I made this for Easter dinner 2012 and our guests kept calling me for the recipe. The rice vinegar gives the salad a very nice flavor. I would recommend this recipe over and over.

I tripled this recipe for a huge church meal this past Sunday. People who don't like broccoli even scarfed it down! I tripled the main ingredients, but I had to make five times the amount of dressing for it to be moist enough. Worked like a charm, and I had a few people asking for the recipe! Enjoy!

Yummy! Light and fresh flavor; sweet and salty. I did substitute turkey bacon.
