Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups red seedless grapes
- 0.5 cups sliced almonds

- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets by boiling them for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Slice the red grapes in half and finely dice the red onion. Set both aside.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, halved grapes, diced red onion, and toasted almonds.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold and enjoy your Broccoli Grape Spring Salad as a side dish or light meal!
