Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 Apple (red, sweet variety like Fuji or Gala)
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into small, bite-sized florets. Rinse and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Core and dice the apples into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). For added freshness, you can leave the skin on.
Peel and shred the carrot using a box grater or food processor.
Finely chop the red onion into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, diced apples, shredded carrot, chopped red onion, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds. Toss gently to mix.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss until all the vegetables and fruits are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the broccoli and apple salad cold as a side dish or a light main meal. Enjoy!
