But I Don't Eat Broccoli, Broccoli Salad

Recipe #292227 | 20 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Shazzie

I have served this to so many people who have sworn they do not like broccoli and they have ended up loving it! Very simple, only 5 ingredients, and keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days. The cooking time stated is merely to crisp the bacon - if you don't even want to do that, you could use bottled imitation bacon bits.

    Not bad. A lot of different flavors. A dash of sugar helps. Go light on the mayo.

    Very good broccoli salad. I think I have had this before without the cheese and using raisins. Anyway, my sons liked this and actually ate it up! Made for PAC 2008

    Even prettier and tastier with half broccoli and half cauliflower, if using mayo, use a little sugar.
