Broccoli Salad

Based upon other people's reviews on this recipe, I want to bring it to a potluck but I ahve not yet made it for myself. How much does this make?? There will be other families there, probably 40 in all and everyone brings a meal. Most all of them are cooked and not vegan and so that I do not ahve to look weird by bringing my own small salad, I am going to start bringing meals for everyone. Should I jsut make two batches?? At any rate, I gotta give this a try. Maybe I can try it out before then.

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!

the best salad ever, i will be bringing it to a work potluck on Friday, I'm sure they will like it.

Loved it! Thanks

Loved it! Thanks

This is great! I used pine nuts and sunflower seeds instead of the cashews and I didn't use raisins (just don't lie them), but i think some cranberries would be awesome in it (i just didn't have any)... For those that like that old Carrot/Raisin salad, the same dressing would be great on that too!!!! Thanks again!

So I made it and it rocks!! Very filling and lots of flavor. A+++++++ Thank you

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.

I am going to make this tomorrow. YUM looks so good!

wow! looks like I'm the 50th person to comment! Fabulous recipe, one I had been during for, I added some curry powder and a little vinegar to add another layer of flavor :)

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.

Wow! I made this a couple of nights ago and it barely lasted two days! In fact I'm impressed it lasted that long. My roommate whom is a very close friend of mine gets more and more intrigued every time he tastes a new recipe - and this guy is a pasta/pizza/sweet fanatic! But now I think this salad has converted him; he's asking me to help him go raw and to share my always growing knowledge about raw foods! Awesome - kudos to a wonderful recipe! :)

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.

Holy wow....this is better than the SAD version. Now I used onions because I like 'em. I also used sea salt with dulse and kelp in the dressing. Added more water because the dressing was too thick but by the gods it tasted like mayo and bacon pretty insanely yummers.

I just made this for dinner tonight, boy it's delish! I never cared for broccoli but this is definitely a keeper!

I made this tonight for my boyfriend and he went crazy over it. This is better then the broccoli salad I had when I was younger. I think this is my new favorite recipe! Thanks for posting!

We had this for thanksgiving and we are having it for our winter holiday meal. we added cranberries to make it holiday-ey. This is really good.

Excellent, yummy, I'm still thinking about it an hour after dinner. My boyfriend (an open minded meat eater) LOVED it. I can't wait to make it for friends.

amazing! thank you for the idea. I actually used pine nuts instead of the cashwes and I made a different sauce with turmenic and miso and nutritional yeast. It came out so good! I will bring this to the raw potluck I am going to tonight. I think it will be a hit!

I just made this today and it was so delicious! I gave my Mom the recipe. She's in Puerto Rico. It is one of the fist raw meals she's ever made (she just went raw last week) and she's totally in love with it as well.

I made this last night as a side to the carrot pecan burgers. Needless to say my mouth had a neverending orgasm. I will be making another batch tommorrow. This seems like a recipe that would stand a few days in the frige and could be feasted on all week. Thank you to whoever contributed this one. I love it!

This looks incredible..I love broccoli...and cheese...from my olden days...mother goose, add the greens...the greens..the greens...they are incredibly healing..
