Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt full-fat
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pounds broccoli cut into florets (about 8 to 9 cups florets)
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup red onion diced

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Set up an ice bath and line a rimmed sheet pan with a clean tea towel or paper towels. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until bright green and crisp tender. Transfer the broccoli to an ice bath with a slotted spoon. Once cool, drain thoroughly and transfer to the prepared sheet pan. Pat the broccoli to remove as much excess moisture as possible and use a salad spinner if possible to ensure it’s dry.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add sunflower seeds and smoked paprika and toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, then add to the bowl with the chilled dressing along with the broccoli, cranberries and red onion. Toss to combine, then chill for about 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store broccoli salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
