Light & Easy Broccoli Salad Recipe


  • Author: Sophia

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Mix-ins:

    • In a large bowl, combine the fresh broccoli florets, chopped red onion, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds. This combination forms the crunchy and flavorful base of your salad.

  2. Make the Dressing:

    • In a separate bowl, mix together the plain Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well combined. This creamy dressing is the perfect complement to the crisp vegetables.

  3. Combine Salad and Dressing:

    • Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture. Toss gently to ensure that all ingredients are well coated with the dressing, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

  4. Chill the Salad:

    • For the best flavor, chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This step allows the ingredients to absorb the dressing, enhancing the overall taste and texture.
