Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds broccoli florets
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 large apple, diced

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds until smooth and well combined. Set the dressing aside to let flavors meld.
  2. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the broccoli florets, fresh blueberries, and diced apple. Gently toss these ingredients to combine them evenly.
  3. Toss with Dressing: Pour the prepared poppy seed dressing over the broccoli mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the ingredients with the dressing.
  4. Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to blend and the broccoli to soften slightly for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a tangier taste or sweeter apples like Fuji for added sweetness.
  • This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but best consumed fresh for optimal texture.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup to make it vegan-friendly.
  • Make sure to chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets to ensure ease of eating.
