Sweet & Tangy Broccoli Salad image

Another variation of the always popular broccoli salad - I like the tanginess and texture of the dried cranberries! This salad is good anytime of the year - the favors really come together the next day (if you have any left....)

This salad was a waste of time and ingredients. It was not good at all.

I would not recommend this recipe. The dressing was too sweet and the broccoli was not crisp.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still edible, but it wasn't as flavorful as I expected.

The salad was easy to make and it tasted great. However, I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.
