Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Core and dice the apples into small chunks, leaving the skin on for added texture and color.
Thinly slice the red onion so you have about half of an onion's worth of slices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, diced apples, sliced red onion, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold and enjoy as a refreshing side dish or standalone salad.
