Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Am glad you can omit the raisens. I would have anyway. Can't stand the things.

Would love to see you add the nutrition values to the recipes. As a diabetic, this is crucial.

I am not diabetic but I am on a medically-supervised ultra-low-carb regimen. When I need to calculate carbs, I use the "Recipe Calculator" at sparkpeople: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp A bit tedious to be sure, and some of the weights-and-measures conversions will drive you nuts until you get used to them, but very accurate. I would rarely if ever be able to use RecipeLion recipes without it!

Thanks all, for the great suggestions! We appreciate hearing your feedback. Keep the comments coming! -The editors of RecipeLion

adding broccoli to any salad is great, but i would add walnuts or sunflower seeds and substitute bacon bits for the greasy bacon also smart beat fatfree salad dressing for the mayo save the calories for the walnuts!!

You can also add white rasins,sunflower seeds unsalted, grated carrots, and chopped purple cabbage. I make mine this way and get alot of compliments.

Looks great will try the recipe..

Add some Craisins for a colorful and tasty touch.

We add some seedless red grapes to this. Delicious!
