I used raisins and almonds instead of the tomatoes and pecans and cut the salt in half. It was yummy. I will eat lots of it, so healthy too!

This was wonderful, I had no lemons so I used white balsamic vinegar instead and I put some sugar in it, there was nothing left. I loved the way Alton sliced the broccoli, way to go Alton, just another one of your recipes that will be a keeper with me.

When searching for something new to do with broccoli, I came across this recipe. My oldest daughter is trying to eat vegan and this was perfect as it accommodated her and the rest of the family. It was great and even my picky 13-year old ate it (minus the tomatoes!. I have to agree with an another reviewer though......I cut back on the salt and it was still a bit salty. Despite that, it was easy to make and so good! We will definitely eat it again!! For those not vegan, feta or fresh mozzarella would be a great addition.

Incredible salad! So fresh tasting! I followed the recipe exactly, but then caved and added just two strips of crumbled crisp bacon. The smoky taste melded with the basil and toasted pecans beautifully and didn't overpower the lemon at all. We inhaled it with dinner and I confess I had some forkfuls before breakfast, it is so good. Easy to make, too - this will be one of our vegetable staples for the summer.

Easy to prepare, but the flavor was disgusting. We love cooked broccoli and so we tried this raw version, but this recipe is not for us! Who knows; maybe it was bad broccoli?
Blanching the broccoli would have been better.

The only thing that makes me give this recipe three stars is the amount of salt that the recipe calls for. As written, the recipe is good, but very salty due to both the dijon and the salt that are in the dressing. I wish that I had tasted the dressing prior to salting - I guess that's my fault. Due to the fact that broccoli and tomatoes are not in season together, I used sun dried tomatoes instead, awesome addition. I also increased the amount of lemon juice. This would be amazing on a antipasta buffet! I'm glad to have found this recipe, I'm always looking for new ideas for raw broccoli rather than the standard broccoli, raisin, bacon salad. Oh, and I didn't bother with a mandolin! Just slice it up or cut into florettes.

I hate fresh broccoli and traditional broccoli salad has never looked appealing. I tried this recipe because my husband loves broccoli and all its cancer fighting attributes. I'm sitting here typing this review while finishing off the rest of the salad from last night...it is just that good! I didn't use a mandolin but thinly sliced the broccoli. I also used candied pecans because its what I had on hand. This dish is excellent and I will definitely make it again and again.

I have gotten so many compliments on this dish! It's also really easy to change up. I've added feta cheese and used different veggies, like carrots, to add some variety. I also like to make my vinaigrette extra lemony. I could eat the entire batch by myself and would have if others hadn't demanded that I share.

I fixed this the other night. It was so good I ate the leftovers the next morning for breakfast. Will fix again and again. Will even eat it for breakfast again and again.
