  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the broccoli florets, diced apple, raisins or dried cranberries, nuts, and red onion in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise) with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.
  4. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavors.

For best presentation, serve in a large, shallow dish and garnish with additional nuts or fresh herbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. For a crunchier salad, add the dressing just before serving.
