This recipe is easily multiplied for a crowd. Everyone in my family asks me to bring this to our functions. I even make it for weddings.

Confirmed broccoli haters have changed their minds after tasting this salad. It is great for potlucks or buffet meals. Make a day or so before you wish to serve to meld the ingredients.
