Alot of expensive ingredients (raisins and walnuts) for a strange flavor. The broccoli and cauliflower are almost flavorless because of the dressing. The dressing is not great. My family did not like it. The recipe yielded about 8 cups of salad. A large quantity. We all felt it was a waste of walnuts and raisins.
