I love broccoli so I'm always looking for new and exiting ways to eat it. This combination of flavors might not be traditional but they sure are delicious!

- Finely dice red onion and apple
- Place everything in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Squeeze in lemon juice to taste or serve on the side.

Variations

- Use slivered or chopped whole almonds instead of sliced.

Storage

- The dressing will keep for one week, depending on the expiry date of your yogurt, if using.
- Make ahead : Mix together everything but the almonds. Add almonds before serving to retain crunch.

I had no broccoli so I decided to substitute with cauliflower and it worked out perfectly. Yummy!!!
Wonderful! Love cauliflower too!
Hi Andrea! I’m in Gina’s group. I love to cook, and this is a delicious EASY hearty salad. My kids inhaled it! Thank you!
Best compliment when the kids love it! Thanks for sharing and so happy you all enjoyed the salad!
Okay, I am lazy and it is hot like heck outside and I didn’t feel like cooking anything in the stove. Sobey’s sell a sort of salad with chopped broccoli, cauliflower, broccoli stems that are sliced so I used that. Dressing was the same, toasted almonds…….excellent. I love it.
That's awesome! Yes the dressing works well with so many things!
Absolutely Delicious! Thank you Andrea for this recipe!
This salad looks yummy! Excellent idea of a side dish served with salmon! I will try it for sure!
Yes it works as both a side dish or the main event! Hope you enjoy it!
Love this salad! I made it for a family BBQ and everyone loved it. Another delicious creation!
So happy to hear everyone love it!!
Just made this for lunch and took a bite. OMG , so good.
I wasn't sure it I was going to like Cumin as I've never had it, but this dressing is perfect. Cant wait to eat it 🙂
Awesome! Hope you enjoyed it!
Hi Andrea, I made this broccoli salad this evening. It's delicious!!!! The dressing is amazing! Would have never thought those flavors and apple would go together so well. I added some cabbage slaw because I didn't have enough broccoli. So good!! Will definately make again.
The added cabbage sounds great! So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
I made this recipe last night and added cauliflower and used sour cream in place of the plain greek yogurt because I didn't have the yogurt and wow was it so yummy! I am looking forward to eating the leftovers for lunch today!
That's fantastic! Love the cauliflower addition and also the sour cream! Lots of variations can be made. Thanks so much for your comment!
I had been dreaming about this salad ever since you posted it in the group. Blanched the broccoli as I didn’t have time (I was sooo hungry!) it was delicious! This will definitely be in the regular lineup moving forward. Thank you!
So happy you like it Leilah! Thanks for the comment!
Omg this is so delicious and so easy. I love to 10 min roasting of the broccoli. It’s the perfect amount of time. Still crunchy yet perfectly cooked. Served this with salmon. Delicious !!
