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.
You probably could replace the bacon with already cooked bacon bits.
God Bless you.
God Bless you. Ask a friend or family member to make this and other dishes for you. 💜 I would bring my grandma something special every once in a while.
You are such an inspiration dear! This made my heart smile!!
Always loved 0:44 broccoli salad. But I use red onion, dried cranberries reconstituted in hot cranberry juice then patted dry, and pine nuts that are sprinkled on top. Or casbews mixed in are good too. Also use Spicey Italian Dressing folded in JUST before serving. Definitely will try this version, thanks. That last head I chop up and put it with the chopped peeled core and steam it to serve with a cheese sauce, or chop it all small and put it in alfredo noodles, maybe with some chopped cooked/canned chicken. I ALWAYS soak cauliflower or broccoli in cold salted water to get rid of any bugs. Then rinse and pat dry to use.
Name of sissors, please. Like that they open to clean.
Bacon proves how much God loves us!
That's funny.
I'm a vegetarian but the smell of Frying bacon is delightful even after many many years of being vegetarian.
Love broccoli 🥦 salad! Tom I have a pair of kitchen scissors I bought about 2-3 years ago and I can't believe I didn't have them before then! Mine are Kitchen Aid I love them especially for bacon!
Looks great. Thank you for sharing. 😊.
That’s an excellent point. 😊
Warning!! This salad is ridiculously addictive! Thanks for sharing.
This would be an awesome side dish, but I could eat this as a meal. So delicious looking
We HAVE eaten it as a meal. It's a lovely recipe. We appreciate that you are watcing our channel.
I love sunflower seeds on mine
Like that idea !
When my kids were small, we use to call broccoli “Trees and Stumps” and we used all of the broccoli.
That is too cute!
Melissa thank you so much for writing out all the recipes!! That helps so much!!!
You are so welcome! I’m so glad you find it helpful.
Sometimes I also use red onion in this recipe, pretty color!
I use red onion also.
That would be pretty! We think that red onions can be stronger and a bit hotter. so I'd advise using caution with the onion before you add too much.
I know you all aren’t fans of red onion, but I love it on salads. I use sunflower seeds instead of pecans and add a bit of shredded cheddar cheese-not too much. When short on time or energy, I’ve used the bags of prewashed broccoli, real bacon bits, and Marzetti’s slaw dressing. Homemade is best, though.
Your so lucky to have a husband that loves to cook & is not picky. I really enjoy your videos and receipes. 😊
I’m indeed very blessed to have him. He really is the best. Thank you so much for watching our channel.
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.🙏🏻♥️
My favorite salad. Because I can’t digest raw broccoli, I just steam it for a few minutes. Truly the best broccoli salad ever.
That is a wonderful idea! I can digest raw broccoli, but I’m just not crazy about it. I might just have to try that! ❤
Slightly steaming or microwaving very briefly brings out the sweetness in the broccoli. So good. Sometimes I substitute dried cranberries for the raisins and living in almond country, of course often we sub almonds for the pecans.
I'll eat this salad with just about any variation.
Great suggestions! We appreciate that you’ve shared your tips!
I put red onion in mine. It's always a winner.
So do I
We like it either way. Thank you both for watching our channel. We really do appreciate it.
Me too ! This salad needs a touch of color and the purple onion is perfect and/or purple grapes instead of those golden raisins.
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.
This Broccoli Salad recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.
Thank you for this I'm ready for summer salads😊
Agree!
It's a great addition to a summer meal or a cookout. Just keep it cool! Thank you both for watching.
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 the endorsement. We appreciate the kind words.
I love how you don't waste food or ingredients ❤👍
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 ❤
We are so glad you are watching. Thank you.
The memories you’ve described are irreplaceable!
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. 😊
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
Your comment has made us smile! Thank you so much for sharing with us that you’ve made some of our recipes. We are so happy to read that! We love reading your recipe for this great salad, too.
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!!
I add the same to mine
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 love to sprinkle wonton strips over the top just before serving. Love watching your channel. 👏🏼
Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your variations.
I make this salad but I add chunks of cheddar cheese and equal parts of broccoli & cauliflower. Everyone raves about this salad.
I love it with dried cherries or dried cranberries!!❤
I've not had it with cherries, but I have with cranberries, and they are a nice variation. Thank you so much for watching our channel and for being at the table with us. We sure do appreciate it.
You should try using a red/purple onion instead of yellow onion. Delicious 😋
I love summer salads, Thanks for sharing is delicious salad!
You are so welcome. We really enjoy this. Thank you for watching our channel.
@@comesitatmytable9044Good evening from Georgia, hope all is well. Can you please tell me about how many servings this will make??
Just the two of us!?!
@@user-kh9jv8cx3l this makes a ton, but the recipe halves beautifully! ❤
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 have tried so many of your recipes. They are all great. Love your channel.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
That's the measurements I use. The 1 cup was too sweet for us.
This is one of my favorite salads. It is expensive at the store deli, so thanks for the recipe.
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!
We hope you enjoy it! And we think it would be great for a summer cookout! Thank you so much for watching our channel. We love having you at the table with us.
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 UA-cam. I have several people I follow, but Tom and Melissa you are my favorite.❤
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 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 UA-cam channel.
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!!
Can't wait to make this. Melissa, come out from the back, we want to see you. That voice is so dainty.
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'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 ❤
Thank you Tom and Milisa you are great together ,I love your recipes !!
Thank you so much. It's so nice to have you at the table with us. We appreciate your encouraging comment.
Thanks folks! One of our grand daughters is having her HS graduation party in a few weeks ... we are bringing this for sure .. it looks GREAT!!
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 ❤
That broccoli salad looks wonderful. I will have to try it!
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 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.
"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.
I love the stories that go along with each recipe!!❤🫶🏼🥰🫶🏼❤ Yall both are so sweet! My Momma was the Beta Club Sponsor at Marianna High School for years... and I remember they did cook books too!!🍽☺️ We're definitely trying this as it's different from my Broccoli Salad..🥦🥗 I use broccoli, tomatoes, bacon, mayo & salt/pepper.. this look delish!😋💚 I'm taking so many of yalls recipes with us to the beach in June-July!!🏖🌊🌞🌶 Bless you both!🩷💐🙏🏻
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.
I love the broccoli stems!
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 loved to eat this before getting sick, loved it at the Der Dutchman could not get enough
You can also save that hard stem and shred it if you’re going to make a broccoli slaw.
That sounds good!
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!!!
My kids loved broccoli. They called them little trees. 😂❤
My mom did too so we would ear it and carrots were goldfish. So funny.
I have tried so many broccoli salad, but none I would make again. I am going to try your recipe. Sounds good.
I've been making this salad as many years as you have been making it. It is delicious. Love watching your videos and have made and added many new ones to my recipe box that I've seen on your show.
I will definitely be making this salad. Looks so good. I have made several of the recipes that you have made and have not been disappointed yet!
I love salads this one looks delicious 😋 have a blessed night 🙏
Looks yummy. When my daughter was young, I would always make take at least two bites and she learned to love vegetables.
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
I love morning glory muffins and would love to see your recipe made by Tom!😊
I LOVE broccoli salad. ❤ Thanks for the recipe ❤
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
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.....
I love broccoli salad. Teasing us with summertime goodies!
Ty for sharing love broccoli and bacon no question going to cut recipe in half just for myself looked so yummy and is expensive at the store know this is way better God Bless. you both❤
I know of people who won’t share their recipes. Especially if it’s a family recipe, which is sad.
I love all of ya’s recipes. I made the shrimp dish you made when ya were on vacation. My husband and I loved it.
I use red onion in my broccoli salad and I also add cubed cheddar -- delicious! Thank you for sharing this.
I make this dish and sometimes I add shelled sunflower seeds. Your right, it is fantastic.
I make this throughout the summer but I add slightly salted sunflower seeds,Oh my goodness
Have a wonderful blessed rest of the week and weekend u2😊
I take any veggie trimmings and feed the bunnies that run around early morning or afternoon in my yard.
I feed my squirrels,hummingbirds,deers that come through. Love nature ,they take of us ,so we take care of them🫶🏻
I agree Melissa, Tom needed a larger bowl for whisking his salad dressing lol. However the recipe does look wonderful. I love broccoli. Y’all are so sweet and work together so well. Thanks so much for all these recipes. God bless
Great recipe, can't wait to make it. I agree, GV Golden Raisins are the best. Thanks for posting, God's blessings
I love broccoli salad.Its a nice change from potato salad.Thanks for making this for us.❤
You are so welcome. We really do appreciate that you are watching our channel. Have a great day!
Another great yummola!!!
I just saw another you tube channel make broccoli salad but yours looks a lot better sounds a lot better I will try it😊 but I it would be good with cheese added 😊
Agreed! I always add mine (usually aged cheddar) about an hour or so before serving.
Great recipe! I love broccoli and so does my "picky-eater" granddaughter. And she really likes bacon too, so this is going to be a favorite. Thanks so much for sharing.
I also have a wonderful broccoli salad recipe. It is delicious. I'm ready for a bowl of it
I love this recipe! I can't believe I've never had it! I'm going to visit my sister this coming week and she loves broccoli as much as I do; so I'll definitely be making your recipe for her! Thanks for sharing 👍
That is a good-looking salad. I like broccoli but I must say. The bacon looked so good after your wife cooked it. I have never seen bacon look that good cut up like that. That made me hungry, lol. Many thumbs up to your video and recipe. I truly hope you all are doing well. God bless you.
I love broccoli salad anytime! I also save the stems and peel them and eat them. Delicious!❤
Love the broccoli salad! Always love watching you!
THANKS AGAIN TOM & MELISSA FOR ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE . MY HUSBAND & I JUST "LOVE" THE SOUTHERN BACON FRYED CABBAGE Y'ALL PUT OUT . AGAIN THANKS & GOD BLESS YOU BOTH VERY MUCH . (TAMMY FROM CALIFORNIA) ❤❤❤
I love this, but haven't made it for ages. Thank for reminding me how yummy it is!
I agree with Melissa. A deeper bowl allows you to whisk much easier.
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.
Thank you for the recipes and your time. I love to try the new things I learn here and can't wait to try this! Thanks again!
That looks delicious 😋❤️ and Tom & Melissa we have tried ALOT of your recipes and we find they are absolutely delicious 😋❤️ everytime you send me a video I have to always go and watch it I Love Your video's ❤I definitely have to try this One 🤗 I Pray That You & Melissa have a Blessed Day God Bless You Both 🤗❤️ Thank You ❤️
Truly, one of my very favorite dishes to make and to bring places! Your recipe is virtually identical to a recipe that I’ve used for at least 20 years! The only thing different that I do is soak the golden raisins in a bowl of water for a little while… I usually put them in the bowl when I start dealing with the broccoli… Just rehydrates them a little. I so enjoy your videos and the explanations and instructions…and the way that you and Melissa honor one another as God planned it. God bless you both.
I have been making a similar one to this adding cauliflower. People love it.
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!
I LOVE broccoli salad but no one else in the house will eat it so I don’t make it often. I’ve made it for years. I usually prefer a red onion and I also like to add dried cranberries. It adds great color and flavor. I’ve also used sunflower seeds (that’s how I was taught)
You’ve got me wanting to go to the grocery so I can make this.
I imagine the broccoli ends would be good to make cream of broccoli soup.
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 !!
I’m trying your recipe soon !! It looks delicious 😋
Thanks for the recipe ! ⭐️
This salad looks delicious., “just a hair” is also a Texas saying. I often say “)just a smidge”. Thank y’all for all you for all your videos. I aways look forward to the days you are on UA-cam! ❤️
We sure do appreciate reading that! It's so nice to have you at the table with us. Thank you so much for the kind words that are so encouraging to us.
I say just a tad.
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 watch a lot of cooking shows and they make me mad because they leave so much in the bowl. That's why I appreciate you so much. God bless.
This is one of my favorite salads❣️❣️
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.
Red onions and shredded Swiss cheese also. So good
Thank you for Sharing this Delicious side Dish Salad and Y’all are so Amazing 😊😊❤❤❤💐💐💐
One of my favorite salads. Thanks for reminding me how good.
