Crunch & Fresh: The Ultimate Broccoli Apple Salad for Every Season

ADVERTISEMENT


👩‍🍳 How to Make It:

  1. Prep the broccoli: Finely chop broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces. This helps soften the texture and makes it easier to eat raw.
  2. Dice and mix: Dice the apple, chop the onion, and add all salad ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Combine & toss: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well-coated.
  5. Chill (optional): For best flavor, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving — it allows the dressing to soak into the veggies.

🥄 Serving Tips & Variations:

  • Make it heartier: Add cooked quinoa, grilled chicken, or chickpeas for a full meal.
  • For extra sweetness: Use a sweeter apple and add more cranberries or grapes.
  • Crunch lovers: Toss in chopped celery, almonds, or crushed pecans.
  • Meal prep friendly: Lasts 3–4 days in the fridge and stays crunchy!

🧡 A Salad for All Seasons

  • Spring: Add strawberries or fresh mint for a seasonal twist.
  • Summer: Pair with grilled meat or serve as a BBQ side.
  • Fall: Toss in roasted butternut squash or use apple cider in the dressing.
  • Winter: Add a pinch of cinnamon and serve with warm grains or roasted veggies.
