Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 medium apple
- 1 cup grapes (red or green, seedless)
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 cup walnuts (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets. Blanch the florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Step 3
Halve the grapes, and thinly slice the celery stalks.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli florets, diced apples, halved grapes, sliced celery, and chopped walnuts.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and garnish with additional walnuts if desired.
