This crisp and super fresh veggie-packed salad is perfect for the summer. I like to make a big batch and keep it in the fridge. It keeps well for a few days, with the flavours intensifying each day. Enjoy it as a side salad or as your main course on warm days.
My recipe uses little pasta to keep the simple-carb count a bit lower. I added chickpeas to replace them because I find they have a similar texture. You could add more pasta if you like.

This is a recipe my stepmom used to make when my dad was alive. It was a family get together favorite.

Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Toss broccoli, tomatoes, and bacon in bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in small bowl, blending well. Add dressing just before serving.
Mix broccoli (can use cauliflower instead), onion, raisins, and bacon; add cashews just before adding dressing. Mix dressing and let set until dissolved. Add to salad immediately before serving.
Mix pasta with dressing. Add broccoli and toss. Add sliced strawberries (if frozen, slice while still frozen). Add raisins and toss.

This tastes just like the Broccoli salad sold at Super Wal-Mart deli's
By Donna Rae from Elkhorn, WI
Thanks so much, this will save me so much money, lol. I buy this stuff ALOT!!
Thanks for posting this. I love this salad but don't purchase it very often at the deli as it is way too expensive. Now I can make it myself! Thanks again!
How many calories per serving?
was way too much sugar for me . . . cut in half, was still too much; dressing was much thicker than what I get at my WalMart, but I have to chop theirs up more so I can eat it since I don't have any teeth. Thanks, it;s a start though.
I made it similar to this, but added maple syrup. 1/2and half with mayo
