Servings: 6
Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 4 cups small broccoli florets stems removed
- 4 slices bacon cooked to a crisp and crumbled (turkey bacon works great, too!)
- 2 apples diced (I use Honeycrisp Apples)
- 1 2-inch-wedge of red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup dried cranberries (I recommend using sugar-reduced dried cranberries)
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
For the Dressing:
- ¾ cup plain yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Combine the salad ingredients. In a large salad bowl, combine the broccoli, crumbled bacon, diced apples, red onions, cranberries, and sunflower seeds; set aside.
- Make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, poppy seeds, and salt. Taste the dressing and adjust it accordingly.
- Combine. Add the poppy seed salad dressing to the broccoli apple salad and gently toss to combine.
- Refrigerate. Cover the salad and refrigerate it until ready to serve.
