I live in a nursing home. I'm bed bound but I have figured a way to fix it in here for me and my friends. So I love this salad and use to eat it at least once a week at home. I sure do miss it. But now that I see your recipe I am going to make it for sure. Thank you.

Bacon proves how much God loves us!

This would be an awesome side dish, but I could eat this as a meal. So delicious looking

I love sunflower seeds on mine

When my kids were small, we use to call broccoli “Trees and Stumps” and we used all of the broccoli.

My favorite salad. Because I can’t digest raw broccoli, I just steam it for a few minutes. Truly the best broccoli salad ever.

Warning!! This salad is ridiculously addictive! Thanks for sharing.

Your so lucky to have a husband that loves to cook & is not picky. I really enjoy your videos and receipes. 😊

I love how you don't waste food or ingredients ❤👍

Melissa thank you so much for writing out all the recipes!! That helps so much!!!

Sometimes I also use red onion in this recipe, pretty color!

Yeah, we say, "a hair more" here in Georgia. Ever heard of "hanging in there like a hair in a biscuit"? We were blessed with two girls and a foster daughter. We even had female cats and dogs and our white van was Betty White. My husband was outnumbered, but he used to say that phrase just to gross all of us out. It tickled him...stinker. That salad looks amazing and is one I'll definitely have to try. Thanks, again, for your recipes, your teaching and your charming stories....that's for Melissa too.

That dressing is great on any salad. I love it on a coleslaw mix or just lettuce. This is just a great dish. Everyone watching should try this if you haven’t.

Thank you for this I'm ready for summer salads😊

Hello from Ontario Canada. Just wanted to say that I have tried many of your recipes and have loved every one of them. Your Amish white bread has become a staple in my home, and I had never made bread before. So thank you and please keep the great recipes coming. 😊

Love your take on the recipe, I’ll give the raisins a shot. And yes, I wholeheartedly agree that children need to be in the kitchen. My children and grandchildren still love to be in the kitchen when we have get togethers.My favorite memories are with both my grandmothers. The wisdom of these ladies you can’t find in a book… it’s the shared experiences learned. We use the word ‘touch more’ for adding a small amount. Your videos are great and the recipes are delicious! Thank you ❤

I put red onion in mine. It's always a winner.

Thank you so much. My grandma used to make this and I never had her recipe and she has passed away years ago. God bless you.🙏🏻♥️

I learned to make this from an Amish lady (have family in Sugar Creek Ohio which is huge amish area) We use cauliflower in it too, sunflower seeds instead of pecans and red onion instead of white/yellow onion. i was lazy one day and instead of mixing up the dressing I just added everything to the salad. HUGE mistake. I do not make this often because I cannot leave it alone. I will just eat a little dessert bowl but that turns into anytime I have to open fridge door it just a little bowl until I have eaten half of it over a few hours. Love your videos, i make lots of your recipes. I fix bacon in oven, Learned to peel eggs correctly, have made many recipes. Used the peanut butter balls from the 12 days of Christmas for Easter eggs. thank you so much

I love to sprinkle wonton strips over the top just before serving. Love watching your channel. 👏🏼

This Broccoli Salad recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.

I make this salad but I add chunks of cheddar cheese and equal parts of broccoli & cauliflower. Everyone raves about this salad.

Yes!!!! Looks delicious !!! I make this but also add cranberries along with golden raisins and I use purple onion. Sam's Club also sells this in the deli area and it's actually really good if you don't have time to make!!

You should try using a red/purple onion instead of yellow onion. Delicious 😋

My 24 year old granddaughter won't eat cooked broccoli but LOVES raw broccoli with Ranch dip. When she was little we watched movies about little cartoon dinosaurs ( the movies were "The Land Before Time". I bought every movie they came out with cause I love them too 😊 . We started watching them when my youngest was a little boy but I bought ones even after he outgrew them )and they ate leaves they called tree stars. I told her that's what broccoli was and she started eating it. She came to love it.

Looks like a great recipe. The broccoli head is actually known as a brocolli “crown.”

I agree, a bigger bowl would have been better (men never admit they are wrong, especially on video) 😁😁😁 I love this recipe. I make it all the time. I really appreciate that Melissa always posts the recipe. It helps when I want to add it to my recipe box or share it with a friend.

I always use the peeled stalk of Broccoli, yum. Thanks Tom, I'm all in for a great broccoli salad especially now the warmer weather is here.

I love it with dried cherries or dried cranberries!!❤

I love watching your shows! For an alternate dressing try 1 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sugar and 3 Tbs red wine vinegar! This is also good for slaw!

This is one of my favorite salads. It is expensive at the store deli, so thanks for the recipe.

I love summer salads, Thanks for sharing is delicious salad!

I peel and add the stems to my broccoli salad. I also add sunflower seeds instead of pecans. I know some people use slivered almonds. They're all delicious.

I have tried so many of your recipes. They are all great. Love your channel.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have made broccoli salad for years, but today I learned something new…I have never made it with sour cream. I have most of the ingredients but the broccoli so I will be going to get that. Also if I don’t have raisins I put in cranberries, but I agree with you on the raisins. Once again I love watching y’all because you make dishes I would make.

I use sunflower seeds like most others who have posted, but pecans sound really good. I do a screen shot of your recipes and save to my photos. I make more of your recipes than any I see on KZfaq. I have several people I follow, but Tom and Melissa you are my favorite.❤

Thank you very much for this recipe. I served it at a get together and it received rave comments. I was asked for the recipe and gave you all credit. I shared your KZfaq channel with all.

I use red onion and shredded mozzarella cheese in my broccoli salad. I’ve not had sour cream in the ones I’ve had but eager to try it! You make me so hungry! This just might be my summer item for cookouts. Thank You!

I love this salad, I've made it several times. I like it with dried cranberries (especially at Christmas!), instead of the golden raisins.

I love this salad. The recipe I use has sunflower seeds in it. I got my recipe from "Cooking from Quilt Country" by Marcia Adams. Love your recipes and KZfaq channel.

I've been wanting a good broccoli dish for years, think I have found it here. Thanks so much

My kids loved broccoli. They called them little trees. 😂❤

I love this salad. Could eat that complete bowl in 3-5 days.

Love this salad. Yours looks amazing. I love your channel because everything is so down to earth. Nothing has ingredients that I’ve never heard of. Thank you and Melissa!!

I add sunflower seeds to mine and a little bowl of this with any breakfast is pretty fantastic too.

Looks delicious, I would blanch the broccoli in hot water for a few seconds to bring out the lovely green colour before making up the salad. I love your recipes, best wishes for continued success with your channel. Love from Scotland ❤

Our Heinens store has been making this since 1970. It is soo good! They used much smaller pecan pieces . And they use Bermudan onion ( purple onion I keeps moist and fresh tasting up to 3days. After making it put in fridge for 1 hour and stir a few times during that hour. I love the salad! Add a little red delicious apples too

I agree with Melissa. A deeper bowl allows you to whisk much easier.

I made your broccoli salad recipe and LOVED it. It was way too much and leftovers did NOT get soggy refrigerated. Thx for an addition to my recipe collection.

You can also save that hard stem and shred it if you’re going to make a broccoli slaw.

I grow my own broccoli. Even in winter with a hot box. I like to use the leaves for salads. Sometimes let a few bolt for the flowers. They're delicious as well. And I can use the seeds from the flowers to grow more.

I love broccoli salad! But never had a recipe. The dressing is very important to make it delicious. Thank you 💕for the written recipe!!

Yum. I added sunflower seeds as well. Next time I will just add 1/2 cup of sugar. I was just a bit sweet for my taste. TY for sharing 😊

So excited to get this recipe, I will be making it for my husband this week. 💕💕

Got to love those broccoli salads, this one will be awesome too. Thanks for sharing with us Tom and Melissa. Stay safe and keep up the good videos and wonderful recipes you share with us. Fred.

This is a favorite of our family at every holiday meal. Our older daughter usually makes it. She uses Craisins, red onion and red wine vinegar with the mayo, along with bacon. I think I would like raisins better because they are sweeter than the dried cranberries! Those can sometimes turn your mouth inside out…🤣😫 Thanks for sharing! ❤-Brenda

I like this recipe with craisins instead. I also like pea salad with pecans, green onions, and a mayo dressing.

This is one of my most favorite dishes and I make it often. My recipe doesn't call for sour cream but I think that would make it even more creamy so I may try adding it. That is what is so great about finding new recipes, we find new ways to try old favorites!

One of my favorite salads. Thanks for reminding me how good.

I have several comments. First, you can boil those broccoli stems after cutting the skins off. Boil them in vegetable broth if you have it. This is an excellent base for broccoli soup. Regarding your salad, we have a similar recipe that we have used for years. We have decided to hold out the bacon and pecans until serving, then sprinkle them on each individual serving, especially on Day 2, those lose their crisp and become kind of mushy. We prefer the crisp. I’m sure this is a delicious salad. Thanks for sharing!

Love broccoli salad. Here in Texas, we tend to put cheddar cheese in ours as well. A friend of mine told me to use Broccoli Slaw mix when making the salad for just a couple of servings. It is fast and convenient.

Can't wait to make this. Melissa, come out from the back, we want to see you. That voice is so dainty.

I love broccoli salad

Great recipe, can't wait to make it. I agree, GV Golden Raisins are the best. Thanks for posting, God's blessings

14:27 I have been making broccoli salad for a few years now. My family and I love it, but we prefer it made with balsamic vinegar. I add minced red onions, shredded cheddar cheese and sunflower kernels.

I loved to eat this before getting sick, loved it at the Der Dutchman could not get enough

Cutco scissors and knives are pure quality. If you find one on a garage sale, grab it. If you have dull non-Cutco scissors, snip 3 times in aluminum foil and they will be sharper than anything. Don't throw old scissors out.

I LOVE Broccoli Salad!

I can’t wait to try this it looks delicious!!!!

I LOVE my CUTCO scissors!!! I was sold on them when the salesman cut a penny up with them!! They ARE WONDERFUL!!! I think they cost around $125.00, but well worth it!!!

That looks so good!

I’m so ready to try your recipe!

Love broccoli salad.

That looks so good

Thanks for sharing. This looks delicious.

What a great summertime salad! Thanks for sharing!❤

That broccoli salad looks wonderful. I will have to try it!

I love this exactly the way you make it. However, out of the 4 of us in my home, I am the only one who likes raisins. So, therfore, I sub the raisins with dried cranberries. Still a salad from Heaven! Oh wait! ...It is a salad from "Come Sit at My Table" next best thing to Heaven. Thanks Tom and Melissa!

I have tried so many broccoli salad, but none I would make again. I am going to try your recipe. Sounds good.

I'm from North Carolina and I've heard just a hair more my whole life lol I love that yall say that and I love yalls channel and watching you two because yall are so sweet ❤

Sounds yummy, a nice summer salad, on a hot AZ day! Than you for sharing ❤

Tom & Melissa- this looks to be a great salad. Thanks for sharing… Have a blessed weekend ! 👏👏👏💕🌻

I love broccoli salad. Teasing us with summertime goodies!

RE: Getting kids to eat different foods. I made a deal with my grandson when he was 4 years old. If he would take one bite he was allowed to spit it in the trash if he didn’t like it. Now this is the part that convinced him to cooperate with the deal. I asked if he were to never try new foods, how would he know if he just missed his new favorite food? We have both kept our part of the bargain and he eats almost everything. He’s 16 now and loves seafood and vegetables. I think he’ll love your broccoli salad.

I love the broccoli stems!

Love your recipe. Can’t wait to try it! Now I’m hungry 😋

Looks very delicious, thank you.

Up north we also make this salad but use sunflower seeds ..... It is also good with halved seedless grapes instead of raisins. Grind up the stems for broccoli slaw or add it to the salad, or cook them and puree them to make the base of cream of broccoli soup.....

We are looking forward to trying this soon. Thank you for sharing!

Hmmm lecker 😋 Danke für das tolle Rezept 🥰

Love this salad!

Love the broccoli salad! Always love watching you!

Looks delicious

I will try it. Thank you.

Can’t wait to try this. My mouth is literally watering!

Looks very good thankyou

We love broccoli salad. I know it will be good!

I love your recipes. I have tried a few. There are many more I want to make. I have a recipe to send you to consider making for Subscriber’s Sunday. They are called Morning Glory muffins. They are hearty and just plain wonderful. I will do that soon. Thank you for working together and bringing a fun and quality show. Whenever I see you have a new recipe posting, I watch it last because it’s like dessert to me. Save the best for last! Thank you again, Marianne Martin from Missouri

"We up north" make this as well and often sub out the raisins for dried cranberries. So good..give it a try some time. Enjoy your videos. We also put roasted sunflower seeds and forgo the nuts due to nut allergies in family.

Thank you - can't wait to try. You and Melissa are a blessing to us.
