Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup shredded carrots
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small, bite-sized florets if not already done. Place the florets into a large salad bowl.
Add the pineapple chunks, raisins, finely diced red onion, and shredded carrots to the bowl with the broccoli.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a container with a lid, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the salad with sunflower seeds if desired for added crunch.
Serve cold as a side dish or a light main course, and enjoy!
