There are many recipes for broccoli salad, and I thought I'd share this one that I'm serving tomorrow.

1 bunch broccoli cut into small florets

2 cups sliced red grapes

1 cup dried cranberries

1 cup roasted , sliced almonds

6 scallions diced

1 cup crumbled crisp bacon

Dressing,

1 cup mayo

1 Tbs. White wine vinegar

1 Tbs. Sugar

Combine,

Note, there are some who prefer more dressing, so make it to your taste.

@QVCkitty1 Sounds like a nice version from one I used to make. I may try this one; although I don't really feel like making it for myself ... I'll be by my lonesome tomorrow so maybe i'll try it another time.

@QVCkitty1yummy! Do you blanch the broccoli or keep it raw?

I make a similar salad but i nuke the broccoli for a minute with a 1/4 cup of water to just soften a tiny bit ...not cooking all the way or anything but just to take raw edge off. Then i drop tgem in ice water and then drain well

I love the addition of grapes and using almonds in your recipe!

@LizzieInSRQ , I don't blanch the broccoli , but I know some prefer that and it is fine either way.

Mine consists of broccoli, white raisins, sunflower seed nuts, chopped sweet onion. The dressing is similar but I taste it before putting it on the veggie to be sure it has the right tang vs sweetness.

I love this recipe because it is so adaptable to what you have on hand &/or like!

I am going to save this recipe because it will make a great dinner in the heat of the summer when I don't want anything heavy.

A place I used to go to added pecans/walnuts, sunflower seeds, chick peas & shredded cheese to their version. Other posters mentioned some of those too.

Thanks for sharing!

This is basically the same recipe I use, and it's delicious. I've never added the dried cranberries but that's a great addition and I'll do that next time! I think the dressing is what really puts the finishing touch on it because of the sweet/tangy taste with the vinegar and sugar mayo mix.

My version of this recipe does not have grapes, cranberries or nuts\sunflower seeds. It does have raisins. It is delicious and always a favorite, especially in the Summer!

@QVCkitty1 I have purchased this salad from my grocery store deli counter in the past and I always think there is too much dressing on it. I think yours sounds so delcious. I will have to make it this summer!
