Ingredients

Poppy Seed Dressing

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon poppy seeds

Salad

  • 1 ½ pounds broccoli florets
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 large apple, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds until smooth and well combined. Set this dressing aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets, fresh blueberries, and diced apple evenly to distribute the ingredients.
  3. Dress the Salad: Pour the prepared poppy seed dressing over the broccoli mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the ingredients with the creamy dressing.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least one hour. This chilling step lets the flavors develop and the salad to become refreshingly cool before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, consider adding toasted almonds or sunflower seeds.
  • Use crisp apples like Fuji or Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor contrast.
  • Feel free to substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Prepare the salad a few hours ahead to enhance the flavor absorption but add the dressing just before serving if you want to keep the broccoli crunchier.
