I tried this salad last night because I was trying to make some kind of salad out of things I already had; to pair with your baked Mac & Cheese (which is amazing by the way!) I had the broccoli, some red cabbage, 1/2 a carrot, red onion, toasted almonds and grapes instead of cranberries. I mixed up the buttermilk dressing and thought it didn’t look like enough for my giant mound of veggies so…….. I had some leftover dressing from your green onion slaw recipe and decided to add a couple tablespoons of that to the dressing. I didn’t know how it would taste, but it was actually really good! It added a fresh brightness to the dressing that worked really well. My boyfriend ate two bowls full and he doesn’t even like veggies. Thank you so much for all the amazing recipes.

i have been craving broccoli so bad lately! i love this recipe, definitely going to be a regular at my house. i substituted skim milk for buttermilk, fat-free greek yogurt for mayo, and sherry vinegar for cider vinegar because that’s what we had in the house. it turned out great!

I’m gonna take this to broccoli, currants, roasted chestnuts sliced thin and a slightly garlicky buttermilk dressing. Is it tomorrow yet?

Made this recipe exactly as you wrote it and it was delicious. Unlike many other commenters, though, I didn’t love the dressing on it’s own, so would probably try another version next time.

I substituted sunflower for nuts, used no fat mayo and skipped the buttermilk (allergic) and it’s delish, perfect alongside ribs. I wasn’t a broccoli fan until I tried this recipe.

This was a huge favorite at a barbecue this past weekend. I’m fighting off the boyfriend for leftovers. :)

Just made this with toasted chopped pecans (I was out of sliced almond) and it was fantastic.

Made this this weekend for a bbq and it was a huge hit. Followed the recipe exactly. My sister and brother-in-law kept the left overs and apparently ate them for breakfast. Who knew coleslaw was breakfast fare? We all loved it. I cheated and used bag broccoli slaw mix. Worked perfectly! Thanks for a great recipe!

Planned out dinner around this salad, arrived home from supermarket to discover I’d forgotten buttermilk and our mayo was past it’s use-by date. A few googles later and I had whipped up my first ever batches of homemade mayonnaise and buttermilk (soy buttermilk no less – which worked out better as we don’t handle lactose well). So I’m not sure how closely my version tastes to the recipe (esp as I only had olive oil for the mayo which made it very olive-y), but my partner wolfed it and he dislikes mayo. It is delicious and having recently found out I am pre-diabetic it is sure to be one of my staples. What I love most is that a serving goes a long way to the daily 2 cups of vegetables quota compared to a plate of flimsy leaves. And it so filling – with the sweet potato & white bean soup we made to go with it, we are stuffed! Thanks SK.
