Simply amazing! Crisp, fresh and lively. Served today for an Easter side dish. Everone loved it...and our children didn't even object to the red onions. ( meant to rate 5 star...but not sure what I tapped on this new tablet.)

I love the fact that this is so much more healthy than the original version. But for some reason, it didn't come out quite as good as I had expected. I'm thinking that with these ingredients it might be better to blanche the broccoli, let it chill, and then make the salad.

My husband and I made this salad over the weekend. I've had (and loved) the calorie-laden version of this recipe. I can now whip it up again - healthified. It doesn't quite compare, but this receipe provides a great alternative and guilt-free enjoyment. I will definitely make this again!
