Make this simple, satisfying salad featuring crisp Honeycrisp apples, fresh broccoli, and a creamy, slightly sweet dressing. It is a great side dish for potlucks or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 large Honeycrisp apples, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables and fruit: Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Core and chop the Honeycrisp apples into pieces similar in size to the broccoli.
  2. Combine the main salad ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the broccoli florets, chopped apples, dried cranberries, and pecans or walnuts.
  3. Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the broccoli and apple mixture. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Chill before serving: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. This salad is best served cold.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute the maple syrup with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  • If you prefer a tangier dressing, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the dressing mixture.
  • This salad holds up well for make-ahead preparation; dress it up to 4 hours before serving.
