Scale

Salad

  • 4 cups broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 large Honeycrisp apple, diced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chopped broccoli florets, diced Honeycrisp apple, dried cranberries, chopped pecans or walnuts, finely diced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese if using. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss salad with dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly until every ingredient is coated with the creamy dressing.
  4. Chill before serving: Cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • This salad can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator to enhance flavor meld.
  • Adjust the quantity of nuts and cheese according to your preference or omit cheese for a dairy-free option.
  • If you desire a sweeter salad, increase the honey in the dressing to taste.
