Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds fresh broccoli (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 large apple (chopped into bite-size pieces)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for apple)
Dressing Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat or low fat)
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad Ingredients: Place the broccoli, blueberries, finely chopped red onion, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, toss the chopped apple with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning, then add it to the large bowl with the other salad ingredients.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds until smooth and well combined.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to evenly coat all components with the creamy dressing.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate until ready to serve. For best texture and flavor, consume within one day after tossing with the dressing.
Notes
- Use fresh broccoli cut into small, bite-size pieces for optimal texture.
- Tossing the apple with lemon juice prevents browning and keeps it looking fresh.
- You can use either full fat or low fat Greek yogurt depending on your preference.
- This salad is best eaten within one day after mixing with the dressing to maintain crispness.
- Feel free to substitute dried cranberries with raisins or dried cherries if desired.
