I made this for Thanksgiving, but with all the other dishes and activity I forgot to get it out of the refrigerator!! That was probably a good thing though, because there may not have been enough left for the next day! We just loved this, and I would rather eat only this for dinner and let everyone else eat the rest! I tend to not measure when I cook so I didn’t follow amounts carefully except for the dressing, and substituted mild regular onion for the red. It was so good!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!

I’ve been making a salad similar to this for years. We all love it. I have never used raw onions because we don’t care for them. My recipe only calls for broccoli, golden raisins and salted sunflower seeds. I use white wine vinegar. I may try adding bacon the next time I make mine, as I have never tried that either. The mayo-vinegar combo is what makes the salad. I’m not rating it and changing it……just wanted you to know you can vary the ingredients and it is still great with this dressing.

I have been making this salad and variations of it for many years. I strongly advise anybody who is taking this salad to a picnic to either make their own mayonnaise without eggs, or, nowadays there is a commercially available egg-free version of mayo available at most grocery stores. It’s not hard to make your own, recipes are easy to find on this site and only take a minute or two.
Mayo is wonderful but can go bad very quickly when left out at room temperature or on a buffet table. Better safe than sorry with a party full of sick guests.
It’s a wonderful salad and so worth the extra work. You can’t stop eating it! -

This is an AWESOME basic recipe if you?re looking for a good summer side dish to share. We use Craisins not raisins and skip the onion. We also add a lil ground black pepper. We love using a thick cut bacon. I do suggest making a lil extra dressing tho. Toss a little with the broccoli, chill for a few hours, and then just before serving add the bacon, cashews and cheese with a lil more dressing. The ingredients get soggy if tossed too early with the dressing. IN OUR OPINION that is.
