    Wonderful Different Salad

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this salad for the second time this weekend. It's very tasty and will definitely make it again. It does make quite a... mess to shred up all the broccoli, even though I used my food processor as others had suggested. Read more

    A Broccoli Dish That Is Now Requested In My House!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    A broccoli dish my husband will actually eat! He even asked if I could make it again later in the week. Easy to make,... albeit a little messy. I used toasted walnuts, and it was delicious. My husband laughs at the Good Eats show and calls it "food humor." He's not laughing any more. Read more

    Easy and Tasty

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe is a keeper. I don't have a mandolin, so I used the slicing disk of the food processor, which worked fine. I also... used toasted cashews, since I didn't have the other nuts. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. I'll make it again.Read more

    Good taste, but thinly slicing broccoli...

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Slicing the broccoli on a mandolin was a job, it ends up crumb-y. Slicing was easier. Good taste
