This recipe is another example of what a fine cook you are, Paula! I made this salad exactly as the recipe calls for and it turned out wonderful! Next time around I will make the following changes: 1 use shredded cheese 2 substitute cranberries for raisins 3 use half the amount of bacon 4 chop the broccoli into finer pieces 5 add sunflower seeds. Thanks again for coming through with another wonderful recipe!

Um what? DELICIOUS! Great great greatness! I'm a pescatarin so I omitted the bacon, and I hate raisins so those were eliminated. Only used half the amount of sugar. Added cucumbers and hard boiled eggs. Used a mixture of shredded Parmesan and cheddar cheese. Used fresh diced Roma tomatoes instead of cherry.
I well definitely continue to make this on a regular basis. THANK YOU PAULA

This is a great recipe! I don't use the chunk cheddar, I use shredded cheddar cheese and I use dried cranberries instead of raisins, they give it a better flavor and no bacon. I have made it several times and people love it!
