    Finly dice about 1/3 cup of onion (red or white) and add it, as well as about 1/4 c sunflower seeds and about 1/3-1/2 cup of raisins.
    I "have" to make this for our church pot lucks and rarely bring any
    home.

    Hi Ruth!

    Thanks for sharing this tip. That sounds a lot like how my
    grandmother made broccoli salad. I always ate a lot of that. I think
    she may have used golden raisins. I ate some grocery store broccoli
    salad that
    clearly used lemon juice and i thought that worked well too.

    I've tried various versions over the last 20 years or so and this is the
    one we like the best. It's funny reading some organisation (church,
    club, etc) cook books and seeing half a dozen or so variations on the
    salad. The most common varient seems to be putting cheese in it but that
    makes it non dairy free so I leave it out. I will use golden raisins for
    a change up but keep the dark ones on hand for regular use so tend to
    grab them more often than buying the golden ones.
