Best Broccoli Salad Ever! image

This is a delightful, cool, and crisp salad with healthy fruits, vegetables, and nuts that is a great accompaniment to any entree. It's a real favorite with anyone who tries it. This is a fun recipe as you can get creative with it. I have even made it with out the sunflower seeds, and it was still delicious.

SUNSHINE BROCCOLI SALAD

Sunshine Broccoli Salad image

This is kind of on the sweet side, but you can substitute granulated Splenda and also use light or fat-free Miracle Whip for calorie control. I use prepackaged all-natural bacon bits to save time. It's popular at church gatherings.

Super easy salad for a crowd that's pretty and just a bit different. Great right away but gets better the longer it gets to marinate.
