For the Broccoli Salad:
- 1 ½ pounds of fresh broccoli chopped into small, bite-sized florets
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 large apple chopped into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice to coat the apple
For the Homemade Dressing:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full fat or low fat
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Prepare the Apple: Chop the apple into bite-sized pieces and immediately toss them with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the bite-sized broccoli florets, fresh blueberries, chopped red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and the lemon-coated apple pieces.
Make the Dressing: In a petite bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds, whisking until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended.
Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the broccoli salad mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Chill and Serve: For best flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Serve chilled.
