StaceyinLA Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 If not, you must! It is delicious! 1 broccoli (raw, florets only, cute in small pieces) 1/2 large cauliflower (raw, or whole small, cut like broccoli) 1 medium, diced, purple onion 1 c golden raisins 1 c chopped nuts or sunflower seeds (pecans are my preference) 1 c cooked, crumbled bacon, tempeh bacon, or no bacon (I used none) Dressing: 1 c mayo (I use veganaise) 1/4 c sugar (I use raw sugar and not quite as much) 2 T apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg's) Put all top ingredients in large bowl Mix dressing ingredients and pour over veggies Toss DEEEElish! It's easy to make vegan and so flavorful. I don't even LIKE raisins, and I LOVE the contrast of the golden ones with the tangy stuff in this salad.

Mabeline Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ooh, thanks. I like that salad, but for some reason I have not thought to veganize it. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yes! One of our favs around here (though I leave out the onion). Actually, my recipe only calls for broccoli not the combo but I substituted it once when the broccoli was very expensive and found out that we really like the mix of cauliflower and broccoli.

beaners Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I do this with broccoli but not cauliflower. I also love broccoli and strawberry salad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 This is one of my favorites, but I haven't made it in ages. Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to make it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 One of my favorites. The problem is I could eat it until I make myself ill. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2denj Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Oh, this sounds soooo good!!! I am going to make it tomorrow! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma23peas Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It is the only way I can eat broccoli, I also lessen the sugar, put slivered almonds instead of sunflower (toasted first) and also add a package of cheese tortellini...yum and a complete meal!

Classical Country Mama Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I make this salad--but swap the apple cider for balsamic vinegar. Just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Love it! We use sliced apples instead of raisins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yep, I love this--it's also really yummy with dried cranberries instead of raisins! I make it the same way otherwise, with vegenaise. Yum. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to make vegan and so flavorful. I don't even LIKE raisins, and I LOVE the contrast of the golden ones with the tangy stuff in this salad. I make it. I also add 2 cups of shredded mozzarella. It is 'Scarlett's' salad. Every family dinner and every get together and every covered dish....it is what people want me to make. One friend likes it so much he has renamed it after himself. Like 'Bob Smith' salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wolfcubs Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I've been making this salad almost once a week since you posted it...we love it! Okay, we don't all love it with equal passion, but that is okay because then there is more for me! Just wanted to let you know that it has become a delicious staple for our family. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Do you think it would work with lightly cooked and cooled broccoli? Raw broccoli gives me yucky broccoli burps for hours after I eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerPoppy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Do you think it would work with lightly cooked and cooled broccoli? Raw broccoli gives me yucky broccoli burps for hours after I eat it. It's one of our long-time family favourites, and my opinion is that it would be an entirely different beast with cooked broccoli. Now, it's possible it would be good in its own way, but it would be quite different. You could make a tiny batch to test the theory. My taste buds are telling me that if I attempted a (very lightly) cooked version, I should change some things... lemon juice instead of vinegar, for one. Much less sugar, for another. Probably leave out the raisins. YMMV. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I make it and love it! I also have done a broccoli, cauliflower. carrot combo. so good! I've added the sunflower seeds for some crunch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
