Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and slightly charred.
While the broccoli is roasting, toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to form a creamy dressing. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Once the roasted broccoli has cooled slightly, combine it with the slivered almonds, dried cranberries, and finely chopped red onion in a large serving bowl.
Pour the prepared dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your crispy broccoli salad!
