Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the broccoli by washing and cutting into small, bite-sized florets. You can also include some of the tender stems for extra crunch.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and shredded carrots.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

Add sunflower seeds just before serving to maintain crunchiness. Salad keeps well for 3-4 days and can be customized with additional vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers.
