Yum! This salad is so refreshing and flavorful. I love the combination of sweet and savory. It's perfect for a summer picnic or potluck.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The dressing is light and tangy, and the cranberries and almonds add a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of fresh broccoli, tart cranberries, and crunchy almonds was a winner. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.
