  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • For the salad:
  • 8 cups fresh broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup roasted sunflower seed kernels
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • For the dressing:
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded carrots, diced red onion, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, dice the broccoli stems and add them to the salad.
  • This salad tastes even better after it has had time to chill and marinate in the dressing.
