This wasn't bad, but it just didn't have as much flavor as another broccoli salad I make. This rating is more for me so I know not to try it again.

Have now made this at least 5 times and it disappears in 2 days! My husband loves it as well as everyone I serve it to!

My oil was a bit old and I didn't have any rice vinegar so I use Red Wine vinegar. It was pretty good. I always use real bacon bits instead of having to cook bacon.

I did blanch the broccoli and it was great. I felt like I needed to use the water for something afterwards so I made some mac n cheese for the kids for dinner. (I only halved the recipe of salad).

I made this with the following changes: olive and white vinegar (what I already had on hand) and one 3 green onions. I thought this was delicious and light. It had just the right sweetness and crunch. I will definitely made this again.

Made for Easter dinner family get together. Most of it got eaten, but no applause. I may try this again with a basic slaw dressing

Love this broccoli salad...I have made it several times and everyone loves it too. If you do not have cranberries use raisins they are a great substitute..

Very good, my husband really likes it too. I blanched the broc first. The favors really come together when you let sit in the frig overnight, before serving.

Very yummy...a great use of broccoli

It was a good recipe and the veggies kept their crunch. I did use a little extra bacon, and blanched the veggies for a brief 15 seconds. This gave them the bright green appearance while still maintaining the integrity of a raw salad. Since I didn't have cranberries, I sprinkled the salad with a bleu cheese cranberry crumble before serving.
