Instructions

1. Chop the broccoli into small florets and dice the apples into cubes. Thinly slice the red onion and place all in a large mixing bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture. Add cranberries and sunflower seeds. Toss until fully coated.

4. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.

Notes

Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best texture.

You can blanch the broccoli for 1 minute if you prefer it less raw.

For added protein, sprinkle cooked bacon bits or crumbled feta on top.
