Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets, then chop them into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
Place the broccoli florets, shredded carrot, diced red bell pepper, and chopped red onion into a large mixing bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Pour the peanut dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and toss well to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Add the roasted peanuts and chopped cilantro to the salad and gently stir to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately if preferred.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your crunchy, tangy Broccoli Peanut Salad!
