A vibrant no-cook salad combining crisp broccoli, sweet Honeycrisp apples, and a honey-mayo dressing. Topped with sunflower seeds and sharp cheddar for a sweet-savory crunch. Perfect for weeknights, picnics, or meal prepping.
Ingredients
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 large Honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets and thinly slice the apple.
In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, apple slices, sunflower seeds, and cheddar cheese.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a nut-free texture, substitute sunflower seeds with pumpkin seeds.
Add raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness.
Chill the dressing separately for 15 minutes if the salad is served fresh.
