Crisyn's Thoughts
By Crisyn This is a wonderful raw version of the traditional broccoli salad with bacon and cheddar.
Someone else deserves the credit for this recipe, but I can’t remember where I got it from. Sorry!
I am not a huge fan of onions, so I prefer to use only 1/4 cup and add the onion to the dressing ingredients in the blender.
I also sometimes throw the broccoli in the dehydrator for a while before I mix it with the other ingredients, just to soften it up a little.

Oh man, I totally thought people here were being overly enthusiastic about how awesome this salad really is. The dressing tastes so amazing, it is totally yummy and I'm sure many people still on the SAD diet would love it, too. Side note: I used almonds instead of cashews, and used pine nuts instead of sunflower seeds and it was totally fabulous. A+++

Broccoli Salad
Hey there! LOove this recipe! I can't for some reason, read the ingredients or directions though and would like to give to a friend! I leave out the onions, because I have to agree, that is way too many onions, in fact, I would say the 1/4 c is too, imo! But it's the BEST!!!!!

You guys are life savers! I have yet to be disappointed by a recipe, and this was another one added to my favorites. The men in my family aren't complaining at all! :P

I finally made this over the weekend, and it was fantastic! I used pine nuts instead of cashews in the dressing, and it work just fine. I also added a bit more water than called for (1/2 c. instead of 1/4 c.), based on the comments of others. It was still very thick, and worked beautifully. My friend thought this was so yummy too. I can see bringing this to a picnic or BBQ this summer. Thanks for the great recipe!!

by the way you can use any kind of nuts or seeds. I've tried a different variety and loved every one!

This was the best broccoli salad I have ever had!!! I just started raw food (2 weeks now) and have come across some not so great stuff and started wondering if this was for me! Then I tried this recipe and it changed my mind and got me thinking I can do this and enjoy what I eat!! I substituted the cashews for almonds and sunflower seeds for pine nuts since that is what I had on hand and it was amazing!!

i just made this for a road trip and i used almonds instead of cashews and pepitas instead of sunflower seeds. YUM! also, i used only 1 tbsp vinegar and less onion (onion went in the dressing). it's fabulous! thank you!

I just bought all of the ingredients today to make this. Very nice, but think it would have been better with less vinegar and maybe more water. Thanks for sharing!

This is one of my favorites. I leave out the onion and halve the agave, and add a dash of nama shoyu and olive oil. The dressing is good on everything.

I make this ALL THE TIME!! I absolutely love it!! The only thing I do differently is add some sprouted: adzuki beans, garbanzo beans, green peas, and lentils. Amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I had never before in my life tried a brocolli salad, and I had always known raw brocolli to be bitter. But this salad was very sweet and really filled me up quickly! I also used pine nuts instead of cashews.

I made this last night...it is amazingly good. I love onions, but will use a little less next time, and will probably add some shredded carrots. Thank you a million times...

Now that I've tried this, I see why it is so popular.
A few alterations: I didn't use onions (currently have none), pepitas instead of sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries instead of raisins.
Next time, I think I will make the dressing with a little more water to get it to "pour". But, when I mixed it in with the salad, it distributed well.
So tasty!

I made this today. I added some cayenne to the dressing, and cut down on the onion. It was really good. I think I'll try something other than raisins next time.

This is wonderful! I added a very small amount of shredded sweet potato to it, and it looks like cheddar cheese is in it! (Which is how my mother made it when I was young.)

I made this tonight and it was very good! My husband and I enjoy the non-raw version and we both really liked this alternative. I did add a bit more water to the sauce so it wasn't as thick to ensure full coverage over the other ingredients.

Now that is a very good broccoli salad. I could not find the Agave Nectar in our local grocery store (I have not tried the health food stores which I assume will have it), but I had some mango nectar so I used that. As for the onions, I used a sweet onion and it was not strong at all. It was still really good. I had my step dad take some to my mom to get her opinion..... now I will be making a big batch for our family get together next weekend.
