This Crunchy Broccoli Salad is all about texture and flavour! With fresh, crisp broccoli, sweet dried cranberries, and crunchy sunflower seeds, it's a fun mix of ingredients that's perfect for a light lunch or side dish. Make it ahead of time, and let the flavours mingle—it's even better after a little chill time in the fridge!
4 cups fresh broccoli florets (bite-sized pieces)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, shredded carrots, diced red onion, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), apple cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well coated.
Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld and the broccoli to soften slightly.
