My husband's aunt gave me this recipe back in the '80s, and it's been a staple at our house ever since. I like to make it a day ahead because some time in the fridge makes it even better. Be sure to save yourself some leftovers, too. —Madeline Etzkorn, Burien, Washington

Test Kitchen Tips
  • Don't throw away those tasty broccoli stems. Just peel the outside layer with a veggie peeler, then chop and enjoy.
  • Lighten up by using reduced-fat mayo and adding 3 more cups of any chopped vegetables you'd like.
  • This salad is easily customizable. Add some shaved Brussels sprouts, or swap sunflower seeds for the peanuts. Try adding raisins or dried cranberries.
