Love this recipe. Can always something else to use broccoli for. I would probably use craisens and pecans and maybe a mix of mayo and sour cream. Which ever way it will be delicious and disappear quickly.

I only use regular raisins, never golden because golden raisins are soaked in sulfur dioxide to make them lighter it is a noxious irritating form of chemical gases I do like the sunflower seeds and keep them in a freezer bag on side door of the freezer just toss in a good handful when making these great salads I try to get them unsalted but harder to find

I have made this for years, but I use equal parts mayo and plain yogurt to make it a little lighter. Also, I love to use the Trader Joe's Golden Blend instead of just raisins. It's a family favorite!

Forgot to say I also always add cashews, they go wonderfully with the slight sweetness of the yogurt dressing.

Loved this salad as is but also made it using half cauliflower added celery and pecans/ashews in place of sunflower kernals.

I bought this at a deli once and said, "I have got to make this as it's really good." So thanks for the timely recipe. Got to say... I found it hard to figure out how many heads of broccoli would equal the 16 oz. Because in the end it seemed a tad bit heavy on the mayo. I probably didn't use enough broccoli, I am thinking. Next time, I think I'll try adding currants or, maybe even dried cranberries instead of the raisins.
