Crunchy Broccoli Salad

I love broccoli but my kids don't.  I made this salad and my kids even liked it and wanted a second serving.

I really love broccoli salad but I hate mayo.  This is the first broccoli salad that I've seen that doesn't have mayo in it.  I'm going to make this for sure.  Thanks for posting it because I know I'll love it.  I seriously doubt it will make 10 servings because I'll probably eat it as a main meal and have 2+ servings.  LOL

mmmm... looks good. copying

This sounds great! I love broccoli and this looks like a really easy recipe to make. Thank you!!
