Broccoli Apple Salad

Print Recipe
Servings: 10 -12 servings
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 broccoli crowns ~2 1/2 lbs or ~8-9 cups
  • 3 Gala or Honey Crisp apples chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 package Craisins
  • 1/2 8.5 ounce package sunflower seeds
For the dressing (you can substitute any coleslaw dressing):
  • 1 cup mayonaise I use half low fat, half regular
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 2 packets stevia or 4 teaspoons sugar

Method
 

  1. Cut crowns into florets and finely chop into very small bite-sized pieces (may also finely chop some of stems if desired). Make sure pieces of broccoli are very small for this salad. Place in a large bowl. Stir in apple, craisins and sunflower seeds.
  2. Add dressing and toss well to coat. Refrigerate until serving.

Notes

I prefer my mayo based salads on the light side so I had a little leftover dressing. If you like it more heavily dressed, make extra and add as much as desired. This salad makes a ton so if it's just for you and a couple other people I suggest halving the recipe.
Also note this recipe is best made a few hours before serving to let the broccoli soften up a bit.
