So different and very tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Yes, this is a little messy, but fun to make! The dressing was super simple and I love the tomatoes it too. My salad sat... with the dressing on it for less than an hour and was very good, but next time I think I would let it soak up the dressing a little longer. Raw broccoli is just not that great by itself, but this healthy and simple dressing is just what broccoli needed! Will definitely make this again.Read more

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
