Thinly sliced red onion adds a touch of tanginess and depth to the salad, counteracting the apple’s natural sweetness.
Add a touch of natural sweetness and chewy texture with raisins or dried cranberries. Their flavor complements the other ingredients beautifully.
For a pleasing crunch and nutty taste profile, try toasting walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds. Not only that, but they’re a good source of protein and healthy fats.
Dressing: To bring the salad together, a creamy but refreshing dressing is often created using a blend of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard. It’s light and acidic.
Making a broccoli apple salad calls for little time and effort and is an easy recipe to follow. A simple recipe for this delicious meal is here:
