I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the almonds in this salad. It turned out great!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover broccoli. I always have some leftover broccoli after I make roasted chicken. This salad is a great way to use it up and it's delicious too.

I love this salad! It's so refreshing and flavorful. I've made it several times and it's always a hit.

This salad is delicious, but it's a bit too heavy for me. I think I'll try making it with a lighter dressing next time.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I actually really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is creamy and flavorful, and the bacon and almonds add a nice crunch.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less grapes and pineapple next time.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this salad. The grapes and pineapple add a nice sweetness, while the bacon and almonds add a savory crunch.
