Ingredients
  

Salad Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets Cut into small bite-size pieces.
  • 2 medium Honeycrisp apples Sliced just before serving to prevent browning.
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or nuts Optional for extra crunch.
Dressing
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt For a creamy dressing; substitute with mayo for a richer option.
  • 1 tbsp honey For a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar Adds tanginess to the dressing.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Used to toss apple pieces to prevent browning.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the broccoli into small bite-sized florets.
  2. Slice the apples last to avoid browning while preparing the salad.
  3. If adding sunflower seeds or nuts, keep them separate until serving.
Assembly
  1. In a large bowl, toss broccoli with the dressing.
  2. Gently fold in the sliced apples just before serving.
  3. Add sunflower seeds or nuts if desired.

Notes

For best results, serve immediately after mixing. If storing, keep dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain crunchiness.
