- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large salad bowl.
Core and dice the red apples into small cubes. Leave the skin on for added color and nutritional value, if desired. Add to the bowl with the broccoli.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad bowl along with the slivered almonds and dried cranberries.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli and apple mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat all the ingredients with the dressing.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a final toss and garnish with additional slivered almonds or dried cranberries, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing, crunchy, and flavorful salad!
