I’m using up the last of our apples from our apple picking adventure a few weeks ago in this Broccoli Apple salad. It is sweet, tangy, and the apple give it a great crunch. The creamy dressing is lightened up by using Greek yogurt. It can be either a side dish (it goes great with BBQ!) or a main vegeterian entree.

Ingredients

4 cups small diced broccoli florets
2 small honey crisp apples , cored and diced
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup matchstick carrots
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup red onion, diced

3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a salad bowl toss together broccoli, apples, pecans, carrots, cranberries and red onion.

In medium mixing bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, honey and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated. Chill until ready to serve and toss before serving.
