Salad Ingredients

4 cups fresh broccoli florets Chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 medium Honeycrisp apples Cored and sliced, skin on for texture
1 small red onion Thinly sliced
1 cup dried cranberries Add a chewy texture and sweetness
1/2 cup sunflower seeds or almonds For a crunchy element

Dressing

1/4 cup Greek yogurt Or plain mayonnaise for a creamier texture
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey Adjust to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Method

Preparation

Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Optionally steam lightly for a milder flavor.
Core and slice the Honeycrisp apples, leaving the skin on for added nutrients.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, apple slices, red onion, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds or almonds.

Making the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Combining the Salad

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, allow the salad to sit for a while before serving. Store the dressing separately and add just before serving for optimal freshness.
