Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups red seedless grapes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 6 pieces bacon slices
• 0.5 cups sunflower seeds
• 0.75 cups mayonnaise
• 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cooking the bacon. Place the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

While the bacon cooks, prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, rinse them under cool water, and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Slice the grapes in half and finely dice half a medium red onion.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if desired.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, halved grapes, diced onion, sunflower seeds, and crumbled bacon.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss everything gently but thoroughly until evenly coated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or a light lunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
