Creamy, crunchy Broccoli Apple Salad with dried cranberries, almonds, sunflower seeds and onion tossed in a creamy poppyseed dressing.
Ingredients

• 2 heads fresh broccoli , chopped into small florets (about 4 cups)
• 2 apples , chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion , diced
• 1/3 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Dressing:

• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons honey
• 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

​

Preparation

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook for just a few seconds, to blanch it. Drain water (or remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon) and allow to cool. Use a paper towel to blot any excess water from the broccoli florets.
• In a large bowl toss together broccoli, apples, red onion, almonds, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries.

For the dressing:

• Whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the dressing, just a little at a time, over the salad and toss to combine. Chill for at least one hour before serving.
