INGREDIENTS
4 broccoli crowns (~2½ lbs or ~8-9 cups)
3 Gala or Honey Crisp apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 package Craisins
½ (8.5 ounce) package sunflower seeds
For the dressing (you can substitute any coleslaw dressing):
1 cup mayonaise (I use half low fat, half regular)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon celery seed
2 packets stevia (or 4 teaspoons sugar)
INSTRUCTIONS
1- Cut crowns into florets and finely chop into very small bite-sized pieces (may also finely chop some of stems if desired). Make sure pieces of broccoli are very small for this salad. Place in a large bowl. Stir in apple, craisins and sunflower seeds.
2- Add dressing and toss well to coat. Refrigerate until serving.
NOTES
I prefer my mayo based salads on the light side so I had a little leftover dressing. If you like it more heavily dressed, make extra and add as much as desired. This salad makes a ton so if it’s just for you and a couple other people I suggest halving the recipe.
Also note this recipe is best made a few hours before serving to let the broccoli soften up a bit.
