That’s got to be one of the weirdest combinations I’ve ever seen, even though I like each and every ingredient in that bowl! I would try it!
I know, right?? But it is sooooo good!
Jenna, I am not a broccoli fan, but that salad looks interesting. According to my husband, and probably any man, bacon makes everything better! Have a great one! Hugs!
oh I know, sorry, but with all the other stuff you really don’t even know its in there!
I would never have thought of putting all of these together, but it actually looks really good!
I know, such a kooky combo, but it is my new favorite salad!
Yum!
Yep!
I’ve never had it with pineapple. I will definitely try this soon!
The pineapple makes it!
I made my very similar broccoli salad on Sunday. The addition of pineapple sounds delish! I will definitely give it a try!
I really think the pineapple makes it extra delicious!
I love broccoli, what a colorful and textured salad. My kind of food!
thanks Sharon, and it is great even the next day!
YUM! Looks so good. I love making salads like this. Especially when anything goes! I normally make a good broccoli salad at Christmas and I always look forward to it. Hugs and blessings dear lady.
Cindy
After this lettuce is boring 😂 Thanks Cindy!
What a GREAT twist on broccoli salad! YES YES YES! Broccoli is my favorite vegetable!
You’ve got to make this Jodi, I couldn’t believe how good it is!!
That really does sound like a flavorful combination Jenna! Have a great week:@)
Yes, yummy, thanks Lynn!
Jenna, my taste buds are dancing just reading your combination of these flavors. A must try for sure for me with all of these favorites. And, I love one bowl meals………..
yes, it makes a great lunch or supper, crazy combo but so good! Thanks Emily!
I’m in, sounds good to me! 😉 pinned.
I hope you enjoy, thanks Cyndi!
I like how colorful and easy it is and healthy too! 💕🥦 Thanks Jenna for the recipe! 😃
It’s a keeper, even my son raved about it!
The pineapple is an extra nice touch. I can see this one turning up in my kitchen sometime soon!
The pineapple is wonderful!
This looks and sounds delicious, especially as a summer salad. How many grapes do we need? It’s not mentioned in your recipe?
hi Catherine, 10-12 grapes, really it’s up to you…thanks so much for telling me they were missing in the recipe, it’s fixed now! This salad is amazing and it can keep for several days.
Jenna, My MIL made a version of your broccoli salad without the pineapple. Hers had pecans and was loaded with Duke’s mayo instead of yogurt but it was crazy good 🙂
The version I adapted from had pecans, and I couldn’t believe how good the simple yogurt dressing is!
This sounds perfectly delightful! I have two broccoli salads that I make and love, but why not add a third one to my repertoire!
We went crazy over this salad, the pineapple really makes it! Thanks Jean~
Your Broccoli Salad does look like it is crazy good, can’t wait to try this one. Hope you have a very special holiday and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday.
Miz Helen

This looks delicious. I just added to my Pinterest recipes. This will be a hit for a family football weekend.
I love this salad Emily, and it keeps well for several days!
