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
- Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds until smooth and well combined. Set the dressing aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Toss the salad: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, fresh blueberries, and diced apple. Pour the poppy seed dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Chill before serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least one hour prior to serving to allow the flavors to develop and the salad to chill thoroughly.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts before serving.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
- Make sure to dice the apple just before mixing to prevent browning or toss apple pieces in a splash of lemon juice to keep them fresh.
- This salad can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated, but it’s best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
