Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Blanch the broccoli florets by boiling them for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to the ice bath to cool. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Dice the red onion into small, even pieces.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from the heat and let cool.
In a medium bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, curry powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, diced red onion, toasted almonds, and golden raisins.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
