Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced Red onion
- 0.25 cups Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cups Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Clean the cremini mushrooms and slice them into quarters.
On a baking sheet, toss the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Spread them out evenly.
Roast the mushrooms in the oven for 18–20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they're golden brown and tender. Remove and let cool to room temperature.
In the meantime, steam the broccoli florets for 4–5 minutes until they're tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process, then drain and pat dry.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, roasted mushrooms, diced red onion, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra almonds or cranberries if desired.
