Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped into small bite-sized pieces
- 2 Honeycrisp apples, cored and diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (or nuts of choice)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for a richer dressing)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables and fruit: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Core and dice the Honeycrisp apples into small pieces, leaving the skin on for added crunch.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Adjust the sweetness and seasoning to your preference.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, diced apples, red onion, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries (if using).
- Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
- Serve: Serve immediately, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors marinate.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a bit of sharp cheddar cheese or crumbled bacon.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt or avocado.
- You can prep the salad ahead of time, but it’s best to add the dressing just before serving to keep the salad crisp.
