  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the broccoli by washing it thoroughly and cutting it into small, bite-sized florets. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the thinly sliced red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and sliced almonds to the broccoli. Toss gently to combine.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This salad actually tastes better the next day as the flavors develop. Prepare it up to 3 days in advance for perfect meal prep convenience. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
