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
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
1. Place broccoli, blueberries, red onion, cranberries, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl, toss the chopped apple with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, then add it to the salad.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds to make the dressing.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. For best texture, serve within one day after dressing.
Notes
You can substitute 1 cup mayonnaise for the Greek yogurt and reduce the honey to 3 tablespoons.
Apple cider vinegar can be used in place of lemon juice in the dressing if preferred.
Poppy seeds can be omitted without substitution.
For make-ahead preparation, store the salad and dressing separately in airtight containers and combine just before serving.
