Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup roasted cashews
• 0.5 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup red onion
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and cut the broccoli into small bite-sized florets. Optionally, blanch the florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes if you prefer them slightly softer, then immediately cool them in an ice bath; otherwise, proceed with raw broccoli.

Step 2

Finely chop the red onion into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, roasted cashews, dried cranberries, and chopped red onion.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or enjoy it on its own!
