Broccoli Salad

The Best Broccoli Salad You Will Ever Make

My sister in law has this amazing broccoli salad that she makes. A couple of weeks ago when we went camping together she made it and I just had to share it because it is AMAZING. 

First, you will need to make the broccoli salad dressing. Combine the following ingredients together, mix, and set to the side. 

  • 1 cup Hellman’s Mayonnaise (DO NOT use miracle whip) 
  • 4 Tbs white sugar
  • 3 Tbs white vinegar 

Next, combine the following ingredients in a bowl

  • 5 cups of chopped up broccoli 
  • 1/2 med red onion chopped into small pieces
  • 8 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled 
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of broccoli slaw

Mix all of these ingredients together and pour dressing over top and mix all together. Now you have a sweet and creamy Broccoli salad that has the perfect amount of crunchiness. It’s pure deliciousness! 

**Recipe tip, try adding 1/2 cup of raisins or craisins to the recipe 

This salad is a great addition to any potluck and you can make it ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge! 

Enjoy

          How much red vinegar?

          • Sue Baquet says

            at 8:21 pm

            Just switch the white vinegar for red. I like this with sharp cheddar cheese. It’s a great recipe!

        What is broccoli slaw

        • debby says

          at 2:31 am

          yes, also wondering??

          • Sarah says

            at 5:56 pm

            Its in the produce section with the pre-made coleslaw mixes and such

        • Teresa says

          at 2:40 pm

          Glad I wasn’t the only one who didn’t know what broccoli slaw was! Thanks for asking!

          What is broccoli slaw

      • Sheila says

        at 9:26 pm

        Forget the cranberries and raisons and add grapes cut in half!

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 2:05 pm

      That is a great idea!

      • Shaun mattox says

        at 2:42 pm

        I buy this salad from the Walmart deli. It is delicious but expensive! I’ll definitely make it at home now. SOOOO yummy! Will also add the raisins and sunflower seeds (already shelled!).

        • Andrea says

          at 7:32 pm

          Go to HEB and buy the bacon vinaigrette and use that as your sauce. It it amazing.

          • Noreen says

            at 8:27 am

            What is HEB?

          • Deidre says

            at 1:12 pm

            HEB is a grocery store in Texas! I’ve never seen it outside of Texas

        • Kathryn Castle says

          at 4:07 pm

          I too bought this at Walmart deli. I was just informed that they will no longer be making this. So glad to have found this recipe.

        • Linda Mowrey says

          at 2:56 pm

          Bulsomic vinegar and replace raisins with cranberries instead.

      • Buyiswa says

        I can’t wait to dig in my plate? just waiting to dish out

    • Sol says

      at 3:51 pm

      Frozen peas are also good

    • Olympia Rogers says

      at 7:22 pm

      I was thinking the same thing!! I love sunflower seeds in salad!!

    • angela says

      at 6:22 pm

      Just use store bought coleslaw dressing. It is much better. Also using dried cranberries and sunflower seeds make this salad supreme along with the bacon and cheese.

      • Linda Gilliam says

        at 10:59 pm

        Poppy seed dressing is great in this!!

    • Eileen says

      at 4:57 pm

      Salted or Unsalted? Does it make a difference?

    • Debbie says

      at 11:35 pm

      Yes I agree! I hate raisins so I use cranberries

    • Kate58 says

      at 2:03 pm

      We use cranraisins because our kids do not like regular raisins.

    • Vicki Saulsbury says

      at 8:56 am

      Try adding nice firm grapes to this recipe-they are so good and I get compliments galore any time I bring the salad to a picnic, luncheon, shower or work. I even had a marriage proposal from a married co-worker but I had to agree to bring my salad!!!!!!

    Why not miracle whip ?

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 1:37 pm

      I am not a fan, and it just tastes a little off to me. Although I guess if you are “team miracle whip” you may prefer it.

      • Tammy says

        at 11:32 am

        I am team miracle whip. It tastes fine lol. Also good w raspberry vinaigrette. 🙂

      • Tonya says

        at 10:01 am

        You don’t use miracle whip you use MAYO. It says don’t use Miricle Whip! It’s like a Cole slaw dressing.

        Try it with the mayo you might like it.

        Enjoy

      • Nicole says

        at 7:01 pm

        I only have apple cider vinegar, can i use this in replacement of the white vinegar?

        • Karen says

          at 4:17 pm

          That is what I always use

          • MARY JO says

            at 6:31 am

            TO THE PAN WHERE I HAD COOKED THE BACON i ADD THE SUGAR AND VINEGAR (USE RED WINE VINEGAR FOR EXTRA TANG), SIMMER TILL SUGAR DISSOLVES AND DRESSING GETS SMOOTHER.

        • Debbie says

          at 11:36 pm

          Yes I agree! I hate raisins so I use cranberries

      • JB says

        at 7:16 am

        I use miracle whip. I also add pineapple, Mandarin oranges.

    • Victoria M A Vaughn says

      at 7:32 am

      Miracle Whip has a completely different flavor than Mayonnaise. Miracle Whip will ruin this salad.

      • Kris says

        at 7:36 pm

        I prefer the taste of miracle whip. I think mayonnaise would ruin the salad as all I would taste is the mayo.

        • Elizabeth says

          at 8:32 am

          Miracle Whip is a sweet salad dressing that already has much sugar and vinegar in it. Mayonnaise is a very different flavor profile that is not sweet and does not have the tang of vinegar. To make the dressing as listed in the recipe you would not want to use miracle whip. The sweet and tang will be overpowering once you added the additional vinegar and sugar this recipe calls for.

          • Lfcbk says

            at 6:51 am

            Amen — took me a while to scroll through to find a comment such as yours and you are correct.

        • Nancy says

          at 2:57 pm

          That’s so opposite for me if I had to use miracle whip it’s way to tangy and overpowering in taste than mayo for my taste buds

      • Cindy Hartmann says

        at 11:22 pm

        Agree! Real mayo is best!

      What is broccoli Slaw?

      • Sandy says

        at 1:36 pm

        Exactly…. What is broccoli slaw?

      • Linda Brennan says

        at 11:38 am

        It’s julienned broccoli stems and carrots….comes in a bag….in the produce section.

        • Shelley says

          at 9:49 pm

          Ooooohhhhh….LoL…I wondered what ‘broccoli slaw’ was too. Easier to make our own, I’d imagine. I also understand it will get soggy if left too long. I am making it for camping, but won’t add dressing until a while before eating…just to be safe. 😀 Thanks for the recipe! Better than buying it in a plastic bag that can’t be recycled!!!

    • MJune says

      at 8:17 pm

      Yuk, That would totally change the flavor!!!

  3. Mimi says

    at 7:36 pm

    What is broccoli slaw?

    • Maryann says

      at 3:42 pm

      i would like to know as well.. i think it might be just the stem finely sliced up, did you ever find out?

    • Dawn says

      at 10:52 am

      I think it’s in a bag like cole slaw,in the bagged salad section of produce dept.

      • Renee says

        at 3:38 pm

        It is exactly what you said.

      • Kim K says

        at 4:57 pm

        What is broccoli slaw?

        • Brandy says

          at 6:44 pm

          Broccoli that is graded like the cheddar cheese. You find it in the bag of salad mix area. Like Cole slaw almost.

    • Ellen says

      at 7:46 pm

      I have found when you clean your brocoli peel the stems and slice thin and you don’t have to buy the brocoli slaw.

      • Tabatha says

        at 5:24 am

        Thanks Ellen. Good tip!

      • terry says

        at 1:06 pm

        Never use the slaw I always cut up brocoli just don’t think the slaw mix would be as good!

        • Barbara says

          at 6:51 pm

          actually it is very good. I often mix the broccoli slaw and cole slaw together, and more grated carrots.

      • Margie Green says

        at 6:27 am

        I make my own broccoli slaw by peeling the broccoli stems and carrots and using my food processor with the grater blade to grate them.

  4. Joan Lomas says

    at 10:12 am

    I’m going to put dates and cranberries in mine. Also pecans.

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 12:36 pm

      That sounds delicious!! Good call on the pecans!!

  5. Jan says

    at 1:54 pm

    I’m still trying to figure out what broc slaw is??

    • Danielle says

      at 4:37 pm

      It is like cole slaw but made from broccoli instead of cabbage. You can buy bags of brocolli slaw in the salad section at the grocery store.

    • Savannah says

      at 2:48 pm

      I make it without the slaw. Just chopped broccoli. It’s really yummy. I add sunflower seeds to mine too

    • Madeline says

      at 11:34 am

      I’ve opted to use chopped cauliflower instead of the broccoli slaw. But I like cauliflower

    • tdevel1961 says

      at 4:07 am

      Don”t even need it. works fine with out the slaw.

    • Cyndi Wheelahan says

      at 7:11 am

      What is HEB?

      It’s the stems of the broccoli sliced thin. Like many have already said. You can slice the stems at home or you can buy a bag already sliced n the produce department in the grocery store near Cole slaw n a bag.

      • Michelle says

        at 8:58 pm

        HEB is the best Texas grocery chain ever! Sorry out of staters, it only belongs to us Texans!

  6. connie raymond says

    at 6:32 am

    this was absolutely delicious, didn’t change a thing, a keeper for sure.

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 8:37 am

      Thank you so much!! Someone just recently suggested craisins..I think I might try that!

  7. Marilyn Dumas says

    at 1:42 pm

    Tastes just as good if miracle whip used. Depends on your taste . I prefer
    Miracle whip as has a zip to it and not so eggy…..

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 8:37 am

      It’s totally preference. I am team mayo! 😉

    • Debbie says

      at 7:23 pm

      Miracle whip is too sweet so that you might back off the 4 T of sugar a little.

    • Dee says

      at 5:54 am

      We use miracle whip , sugar, salt, and pepper. We leave out the vinegar. Yummy!

  8. Joy says

    at 8:22 am

    I use miracle whip , and also add craisins, any dried fruit is an added delish; and, pecans, walnuts, almond slivers… Basically whatever nuts I have. This recipe was given to me about 5 years ago. Bon appetit!

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 8:36 am

      Oh craisins!! Gotta try that!

  9. Lillian Hargrave says

    at 10:57 am

    I make this with a slight variation. Great for lo-carvers. I use splenda instead of sugar and balsamic vinegar instead of white vinegar.

    • Shannon williams says

      at 11:25 am

      Thank you so much I was looking to see if anyone had made it with Splenda.

    • Linda Mowrey says

      at 3:08 pm

      The balsamic vinegar is the best for this salad
      Yum!

  10. Mary lawson says

    at 9:42 am

    Broccoli slaw is beside the Cole slaw mid in the veggie dept, in the cooler spot its just broccoli and carrots shredded very good

    How many servings does this make?

    • Sarah Jackson says

      at 12:19 pm

      I would like to know as well

      • Tracy Joyner says

        at 7:26 pm

        Its quite a lot. I just made it and filled a 2.5 qt bowl to the very top. Easily 10-12 servings

  13. ERICA JANE says

    at 7:49 am

    Wonderful recipe! Made today for a potluck at work!yummy!!
    My husband asked why I didn’t leave any for home! Guess I’m making another batch tonight!

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 8:36 pm

      Thank you!!! It’s honestly one of the only salads my kids will eat!

  14. Bri says

    at 5:11 pm

    I use miracle whip and omit the sugar.

    • Alyssa says

      at 4:22 pm

      I was about to ask why it needs sugar?

  15. Meagan jones says

    at 1:27 pm

    HI! How many does it serve? I’m the advisor for ADPi & we feed 60 people for Ronald McDonald House every 3 weeks. We want to make it to accompany hot ham & Swiss sliders. But I’m not sure how many times to multiply it!

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 4:22 pm

      Hi Meagan,
      This recipe would be good for 8-10 adults. If you end up making it make sure you come back and let me know what everyone thought.?

    • Linda says

      at 1:45 pm

      I make a very similar salad and add pasta which nearly doubles the recipe. Great for larger groups.

  16. Nadine Miller says

    at 8:15 pm

    I would sap the broccoli just
    A few seconds in the microwave. It sweetens & takes the raw off taste away.
    Easy does it. Yummy!

    • Barbara says

      at 6:57 pm

      I like to zap my broccoli in the micro too… still crispy, and I prefer the flavor. I do the same with cauliflower.

  17. Sarah says

    at 9:51 am

    I posted about this recipe with a link to your blog over at onthemoneymeals.blogspot.com. We used light mayonnaise and reduced fat cheese and added sunflower seeds. Thanks for the recipe!

  18. Rachel says

    at 11:00 am

    This salad is really tasty! I didn’t have broccoli slaw but had everything else, so I just increased the amount of broccoli by 1 cup. I think next time I would use less sugar – it’s a bit sweet for my taste, or possibly use honey, I’m curious to see how that would taste. Only negative I found is that the dressing is extremely liquidy once it’s mixed. It’s like a puddle at the bottom. The flavours are great but I wonder what could make the dressing more thick and creamy. I’m team mayo, so it’s definitely not anything to do with that. Any tips?

    • Lynda Brechtbill says

      at 1:31 pm

      I use bottled ranch dressing, no sugar, one cup of red grapes!

      • Vicki Saulsbury says

        at 8:50 am

        Grapes are Wonderful in this salad. I always try to get the firmest, crunchiest grapes. They “make”the salad!

    • dale says

      at 4:39 pm

      sugar will affect the creamy texture of the mayo and break the bond of the egg/oil creaming and end up with a
      soggy bottom of bowl.

  19. Suzan says

    at 9:39 pm

    Add cherry tomatoes, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds too

  20. Vicki Williams says

    at 12:59 pm

    I’ve been making this for at least 10 years. Because of being diabetic I use coconut sugar and cider vinegar. I also leave out the onions, allergic to them. Everyone loves this salad.

  21. Nancy F says

    at 9:43 pm

    Has anyone ever tried using bacon dressing?

  22. Kathy says

    at 7:24 am

    Looks delicious! Can I make it the night before or is it better to make it the same day?

    • Teresa says

      at 3:05 pm

      I like it better after I have let it set in the fridge over night!

  23. Jeana Copeland says

    at 8:53 am

    i have made this several times never used the slaw and i use miracle whip always a bit hit with my family

  24. Ashley says

    at 3:40 pm

    We love this salad!
    My grandmother- in-law gave me a recipe very similar to this except lemon juice instead of vinegar. Also we put green olives in it not raisins. Gives it the salt and a little more tang.
    I shared it with other family members, and that is all they requested from me for months.

  25. Dena says

    at 7:24 pm

    Made this tonight and it was so delicious! I would not change a thing. My daughters even liked it and they picky eaters.

  26. Bea says

    at 10:12 am

    OMG… Awesome. I added cranberries. Definitley a new staple in my kitchen

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 10:15 am

      Cranberries! Yum!

      • JB says

        at 7:24 am

        I use miracle whip. I also add pineapple, Mandarin oranges.
        If people don’t like cranberries you can substitute craisins or golden raisin

  27. kylee says

    at 6:01 pm

    wondering if anything besides mayo would work? greek yogurt maybe?

    • tdevel1961 says

      at 4:15 am

      I saw another recipe for this on pinterest using greek yogurt and truvia

  28. Maryellen Goss says

    at 2:58 pm

    If you make a day ahead, do you put dressing on the day ahead, or wait till you are serving it?

    • Heather says

      at 11:28 am

      I have the same question

  29. Robert says

    at 11:43 am

    I used honey and lemon juice instead of sugar and vinegar.

  30. JoanF. says

    at 10:37 am

    I live in northern Indiana and our local Kroger Marketplace sells it under the name of Mary Jo’s Broccolli Salad for $6.99 per pound. It is delicious. They make it fresh everyday.

    • Anita Key says

      at 12:52 pm

      My family lives this! I initiation broccoli slaw and use sunflower seeds! Yummy!

  31. teri foskey says

    at 12:54 pm

    I also put red & green grapes (cut in half) 1 head of chopped cauliflower then just before serving 1\2 cup slivered almonds

      The Best Broccoli salad

  32. Keven Nelson says

    at 5:37 pm

    I added currents instead of raisins & drained crushed pineapple.

  33. ALICE SOHNGEN says

    at 7:07 pm

    IF YOU CAN’T FIND IT HERE,,,IT’S NOT AVAILABLE. LOVE IT.

  34. Wendy says

    at 2:21 pm

    Hi, so 7 tablespoons of sugar?

    • Tracy Joyner says

      at 7:31 pm

      No, no..just 4 ?
      I use a sugar substitute.

  35. Tracy Joyner says

    at 7:34 pm

    Mayo with white vinegar has more zing and less sweet than miracle whip version. I tried using apple cider vinegar once but didnt care for it.

  36. Tracy Joyner says

    at 7:42 pm

    People who don’t like brocoli love this salad! I get tagged to bring it to every get together. I never use the slaw in it but have added thin carrot strips with good reviews. I also use 1/2 golden raisins and 1/2 craisins. I dont like regular rsisins..too sweet. The sunflower seeds are a must. Only red onion, not white…and if it is a very strong one, use less or it will over power the other flavors

    • Kate H says

      at 7:11 pm

      you can also take away some of the over powering of red onions by slicing them for the salad, then soaking them in cold water for 10-15 minutes before adding to the salad. I love red onions, and I do that often to make them a little more palatable for those who find them hard to eat because they are so strong in flavor.

  37. Mimi says

    at 9:17 pm

    Omg, this is amazing! My teenager tasted it and then grabbed a plate. Awesome way to get veggies into the kids ☺

    • anotheryegmommy says

      at 7:03 pm

      Right? My kids love it too!

  38. Noriko says

    at 8:38 pm

    This is my 2nd time making this!! I added raisins, raisins, and some small nuts! However, I do not put red onion because of the taste…

    • Michelle says

      at 5:46 pm

      Do you use distilled white vinegar?

      • Noriko Mitchell says

        at 9:01 pm

        Yes, I did!
        Now I wonder if I can use “white wine vinegar”…

  39. Deanna says

    at 2:59 pm

    Love this recipe..has anybody tried adding hard boiled eggs? Just wondering..

  40. Jaime Gillespie says

    at 12:31 pm

    I love broccoli salad! We have been making it in our family for potluck and family dinners for over 20 years and have shared the recipe with countless people over the years 🙂 I haven’t added in the broccoli slaw before but will give that a try as well. I change little things now and again to see if I like it. Some successful variations we’ve tried are subbing in red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar. We also always have salted hulled sunflower seeds in our version for the crunch factor. We have tried making it with Splenda instead of sugar and at Christmas I used honey instead of sugar to try that was also very nice. I recommend making this a couple hours before and then giving a good stir. It always seems like there wont be enough dressing but it always works out in the end 🙂 My favourite way to eat broccoli!!

    How many days in advance can this be made?

    Instead of raisins I think the dried cranberries would be great! I will definitely try this.

    I throw the broccoli bites in boiling water and immediately drain them. Makes them sweeter and give a nice bright green color.

      Where did you find low poppy seed dressing ? I have not been able to find it. I love non fat poppy seed dressing on allot of different foods. Thank u for the idea.

    I put the broccoli stems in the salad too I just run them over a mandolin so they are thin.

    • Peggy says

      at 10:25 am

      I find if u peel the outer skin of the broccoli stems it is real tender if u don’t have a mandolin. It does take time but I definitely think it’s worthwhile.

    I make a similar one, I use balsamic vinegar instead of white vinegar, I add pine nuts and dried cranberries. Gives it more dimension and texture. Its an easy and good salad to make. I also think any mayo works with it including Miracle whip. Personal choice.

    I’ve used this recipe twice now and it is BY FAR the best broccoli salad recipe I have come across. Love me some broc salad, so I consider myself an expert! ? I have made it with and without the slaw, and it’s great either way. The main thing is the dressing…team MAYO ALL THE WAY! Making it tomorrow and I can’t wait! Yum! Thanks for the perfect recipe!

    I like Craisins instead of raisins.

  53. karen says

    at 2:16 pm

    When I make mine, I use sunflower seeds and dried canberries (crasins). That hint of sweet with the salted seeds and the punch od red onion makes it well rounded in the mouth.

    I love this! My MIL gave me this recipe when her son and I got married. We add slivered almonds, sunflower kernels, and raisins. I’ve also started adding a few tablespoons of hemp hearts for more protein (10g in 3 Tbl!). Also I used Costco bacon bits if I’m in a rush and don’t have time to cook the bacon.

  55. Cindy says

    at 7:42 pm

    I used rice vinegar instead because it was all I had on hand. Came out really good.

  56. Anika says

    at 3:59 pm

    I made this today except I used apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp sugar instead of 4, Cajun seasoning (Tony cacherie) and chipotle hot sauce. It’s delicious!!!!

  57. Judie says

    at 7:48 pm

    This is a wonderful recipie whatever almonds, walnuts, cashews— raisins, craisons, apples, oranges, and green grapes could be added. Depending on your palette.?

  58. Debbie says

    at 8:33 am

    Made this salad numerous times and always a hit! Best thing you can make ahead.
    I’ve added Apple to it (I cut them in sm blocks and sprinkle lemon on them so they don’t turn brown) adds a nice crunch.
    Love it! This is a keeper!
    Thank you!

  59. Bill says

    Try helmsman, balsamic vinegar, and honey.

    This is the best broccoli salad recipe I have ever made! It is seriously a crowd favorite and I get asked to make it all the time from my friends and family. Does the recipe above yield a certain number of servings? Just checking because I think I am going to be doubling the recipe for a company picnic.

  61. Maryann Rimoin says

    at 5:01 pm

    I use 3 or 4 bunches of broccoli tips (only). 1/3 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup cashews or peanuts, 1/2 lb. cooked & crumbled bacon.
    For dressing: 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar, 1 cup mayo (Hellmans/Best Food), 1 tsp. curry powder, 1/2 cup sugar. Mix together.
    Add everything to broccoli except bacon and nuts. Dressing should be added 3 hours before serving and mix thoroughly. Add in the bacon and nuts just before serving. Yum!
    Been serving this for years. Always been a hit. Miracle Whip would not work with this recipe. Much like this recipe but curry added.

  62. Kim Varner says

    Best Broccoli salad that I have ever had… I did add Crasins to mine.

  63. Tee says

    at 6:22 pm

    How do you make broccoli slaw or where can you purchase it at?

  64. Ellen says

    at 9:22 am

    Peel the brocoli, the inner stem is very sweet.

  65. Marjorie Stradinger says

    at 1:06 pm

    I add both raisins and sunflower seeds, and sometime even a few chia seeds to add fiber.

  66. Laurie says

    at 11:03 am

    If you make so many changes to the recipe when does it no longer become the original recipe or some reasonable facsimile thereof?

  67. Lynette Barr says

    at 2:11 am

    Hi All! I have made a similar broccoli salad for many years. It holds in the refrigerator for a good 2-3 days so I always make it ahead! I also add a small red apple for flavor and color. I buy my broccoli at Sam’s Club or one of those stores because it is already cut and ready to use! Yes I at least double a recipe!

  68. Marque says

    at 2:10 pm

    I’m thinking about adding Pomegranate seeds.

  69. Linda Newcome says

    at 2:44 pm

    I also use pomegranate in my salad.

  70. Lesly says

    at 12:12 pm

    Muchísimas gracias por compartir la receta. Lo hice y quedó exquisita!!!

  71. Wanita says

    at 4:07 pm

    Try adding a crisp apple, cut up with peeling on. Great addition.

  72. Sandy says

    at 4:04 pm

    This was fantastic! I used plain yogurt and half of the mayo, didn’t have white vinegar so used half cider and half red wine vinegars. Also threw in some dried cranberries and sunflower seeds. My husband said it was the best salad he’s ever had!

  73. Laurel Fornwald says

    at 8:24 am

    I make this salad all the time but I use half broccoli and half cauliflower. I also add sunflower seeds and halved red grapes. It’s my favourite salad.

    • Shannon says

      at 10:51 pm

      I added Jiffy cornbread to mine. It’s deliscious! Also let mine sit in the fridge overnight before adding the crumbled cornbread!

  74. Jane says

    at 9:11 pm

    I put walnuts in mine and it’s delicious!

  75. Nicole says

    at 6:30 am

    Do you think that red wine vinaigrette would be good in this?

  76. Nicole says

    at 3:38 pm

    How long do you recommend keeping it? I’m never a good judgment of how long things will keep for. 😬

  77. Vanessa P says

    at 1:09 pm

    I Like the idea of putting crasins in it. Haven’t done that yet though. But with crasins, I think maybe cashews would also be a nice addition. I just made this for the first time today for my Husbands lunch for the week (he works from home) and he said he really loved it. I thought it was a really simple recipe, but for some reason, he really raved about it. It was just so different than from the sandwiches he gets for lunch. Instead of broccoli slaw, I just took the broccoli and put it in a food processer until small but not fine. The dressing wasn’t enough to cover everything, so I added some ranch to cover the rest. I used 2.5 TBSP of sugar instead of all 4 TBSP. and I used cut up ham steaks instead of bacon.
