Ingredients
  

Salad Ingredients
  • 2 medium Honeycrisp apples or Fuji/Gala for similar sweetness
  • 4 cups broccoli florets trim to small, even pieces
  • 1/2 cup nuts sliced or roughly chopped almonds or walnuts
Dressing Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cream or plain yogurt use Greek yogurt for thicker, tangier dressing

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and trim broccoli. Chop into small, even florets.
  2. Core and dice the Honeycrisp apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with a little lemon juice to slow browning.

  4. Combine the broccoli, apples, and cooled nuts in a mixing bowl.
Making the Dressing
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream or yogurt with honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Taste and adjust the flavor by adding more honey for sweetness or extra lemon for tang.
Assembly
  1. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Serve immediately for maximum crunch or chill for 20 to 30 minutes to meld flavors.
