This has been a family favorite for many years now! As other reviewers said, there seem to be an infinite number of ways of adapting the recipe. In the summer, I like to add diced turkey or chicken or ham, & sunflower seeds to it to make it a main-dish salad on hot days.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"11\/07\/2012 14:07","GUID":"bacd86d8587f45f1bed38a2ccf561cbb","MemberId":1094741,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Sue Zappa","SubmittedDate":"11\/07\/2012 14:06"},{"Comment":"
A version of this recipe is in my regular potluck rotation. I also replace the half and half with a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to taste, and add 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese. YUMM! What could be tastier thatn broccoli, bacon and cheddar? This salad is best eaten the same day, because it is dressed, but we have eaten any leftovers the next day on hot baked potatoes. I lovethis recipe because it lends itself to so many flavor combos and substitutions...Shredded carrot, raisins, sunflower seeds, onions, cauliflower, what have you! It is also a nice way to use up broccoli stems (mu families favorite!). Enjoy playing with this recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/07\/2012 08:06","GUID":"9f6e8ccfd40d4bbf8ea9758bfaca00e6","MemberId":4627977,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Juansmom","SubmittedDate":"11\/07\/2012 08:06"},{"Comment":"

My husband's family insists I bring this to every holiday. I, however, use a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar instead of the half&half and add course ground pepper to the dressing. I, generally, just mix the sugar, mayo and vinegar to taste and then transport it separately to toss just before serving. I also chop the onion into a small dice.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"11\/06\/2012 09:06","GUID":"9fe9ea54b4b94a3e8faa5fbe37b4b4de","MemberId":5629338,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"carolup","SubmittedDate":"11\/06\/2012 09:06"},{"Comment":"

This is almost the same recipe I use except I add sour cream instead of half and half cream. I also add chopped walnuts.

I've been making this recipe for years. Everyone in the family loves it. I usually cut the broccoli into smallier florets and dice the onions, which makes it easier to eat. Also add walnuts.<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"10\/28\/2011 09:14","GUID":"e4485efcdfd44e26b13d7ab574dbfde6","MemberId":6083245,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"NebrSue","SubmittedDate":"10\/28\/2011 09:14"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"01\/10\/2010 12:15","GUID":"5cec4cddb3c343c0a761ad16453ecd36","MemberId":3713582,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"bgm1579","SubmittedDate":"01\/10\/2010 12:15"},{"Comment":"
