Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 medium apple
- 1 cup grapes (red or green, seedless)
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 cup walnuts (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets. Blanch the florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Halve the grapes, and thinly slice the celery stalks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli florets, diced apples, halved grapes, sliced celery, and chopped walnuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and garnish with additional walnuts if desired.
