How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

This salad is best served cold, right out of the fridge. It’s fantastic alongside grilled chicken, roasted pork, or as a bright addition to a BBQ spread. You can also scoop it into lettuce cups for a light lunch.

Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days. The apples may soften slightly, but the flavor stays great. If it seems dry after a day, add a spoonful of yogurt or a splash of vinegar to refresh the dressing.

This Broccoli Apple Salad is a crunchy, sweet, and tangy side dish that comes together in minutes. The creamy yogurt-mayo dressing coats crisp broccoli and juicy apples, making it a family favorite for potlucks and weeknight dinners.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the broccoli florets, diced apples, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and red onion to the bowl.
  3. Toss everything together until the broccoli and apples are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld (or serve immediately if you're in a rush).
  5. Give it a final stir before serving, and enjoy!

👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage

I like to cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets so they soak up the dressing nicely. If you're prepping ahead, keep the apples tossed with a little lemon juice to prevent browning, and store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
