Ingredients
For the salad:
4 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped small
2 Honeycrisp apples, cored and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (or sliced almonds)
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
For the dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, apples, cranberries, sunflower seeds, red onion, and cheddar cheese (if using).
In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or yogurt), apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light lunch.
Notes
For extra crunch, add crispy bacon bits.
Swap sunflower seeds for pumpkin seeds or walnuts.
Best enjoyed the same day, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Use Greek yogurt for a tangy, protein-packed version.
