Ingredients
4 – 5 cups broccoli florets, chopped into bites size pieces (10–12 ounce bag)
2 ½ –3 cups cauliflower florets, chopped into bite size pieces (10-ounce bag)
1 medium apple, diced (1 ½ – 2 cups)
½ small red onion, diced (½ cup)
2 celery ribs, diced (½ cup)
2–3 green onion, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup lightly salted roasted almonds, roughly chopped
For the dressing:
1 cup Greek Yogurt
¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice (1 lemon)
2 teaspoons honey (use maple syrup for vegan)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon fine salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Make the dressing: in a small bowl combine the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together all of the salad ingredients – broccoli, cauliflower, apple, red onion, celery, green onion, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and almonds or walnuts.
Add the dressing to the large bowl and toss until well combined. Let salad sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow veggies to marinate in the dressing (optional step but recommended)
Serve with a protein to make a complete meal
