Broccoli florets in a tangy dressing. The sweetness of the raisins is a perfect foil for the salt and savory taste of the bacon.

This was amazing! I took others advice and added craisins and turkey bacon. The calorie & fat count for this recipe was really scary so I tried to decrease them by using turkey bacon light mayo less peanuts and a little less sugar. We loved it and I'm going to make it often.

This recipe is excellent. I have made it several times. As one other reviewer noted I used craisins instead of raisins (I hate raisins)....plus the cranberry color with the green broccoli looks great on the table around the holidays. I also used a red onion instead of green onion. Yum.

Super simple to make and wonderful to eat. I've never cared for broccoli no matter how it was made until I had it like this. I have even adapted it for the South Beach Diet by leaving out the raisins using turkey bacon and Splenda instead of sugar and it is still wonderful.

This is excellent!! I used Louis Rich turkey bacon because I prefer it to real bacon and substituted coarsely chopped pecans for the peanuts. I serve this at all our family gatherings in the summer and it gets rave reviews each time. Thank you for sharing!
