1-Getting started with this Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad is as simple as following a few easy steps. First, wash and chop 3 cups of fresh broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces to create a solid base full of nutrients. This step sets the foundation and ensures every bite has that satisfying crunch you love.

2-Next, dice 2 large Honeycrisp apples into small cubes, keeping the skin on for added fiber and a pop of color. Then, in a large bowl, combine the broccoli, diced apples, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts for a mix of textures and flavors. For the dressing, blend 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or a vegan substitute with 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup until it’s smooth and creamy.

3-Pour the dressing over your salad ingredients and gently toss everything to coat evenly, letting the flavors meld together. If you’re making modifications, swap the yogurt for something plant-based or replace walnuts with seeds. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let it chill and develop its taste, then serve it up fresh with a sprinkle of extras if you like.
