Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Broccoli
- Start by washing the broccoli thoroughly. Cut it into bite-sized florets, making sure they’re small enough to put right into your mouth without needing a knife (nobody wants to be sitting there cutting broccoli mid-eating). Set these aside in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mix the Dressing
- In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and apple cider vinegar.
- Keep mixng until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you're feeling adventurous, add a pinch of garlic powder or a squeeze of lemon juice for a little extra taste.
Step 3: Put it All Together
- Now that your dressing is ready, put it over the broccoli. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, dried cranberries, and red onion.
- Put it all together. Make sure everything is coated in that luscious, creamy dressing.
Step 4: Let it Chill
- Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid, and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- The flavors will marry beautifully, and that chill time gives you a chance to relax, maybe even take a nap.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Now, get yourself a big ol’ portion of this salad, and get ready to enjoy a flavor taste!
