BROCCOLI AND APPLE SALAD
I like this version because there's no mayo- just a light Dijon dressing that enhances the flavors. This is best when chilled overnight. Adjust sugar to taste, before dressing the salad. Cooking time includes chilling.

SATISFYING BROCCOLI-APPLE SALAD
This colorful, flavorful broccoli-apple salad doesn't take long to prepare. It's amazing freshly prepared and it just gets even better-tasting every day in the fridge as the vegetables pickle themselves a bit in the dressing. I feel super healthy eating this, and it takes less time to grab a bowl than put together a fresh salad each day. It's a great side with any meal, and I even eat it for breakfast!

BROCCOLI APPLE SALAD
Steps:
- 1. Whisk Mayo, sugar and vinegar in a small bowl, set aside. In a serving bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, drizzle with dressing, toss to coat. Chill until serving.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp broccoli: The broccoli florets should be deep green and tightly closed. Avoid florets that are yellowing or have brown spots.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the broccoli: This will help the broccoli absorb the dressing more easily.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Blanch the broccoli for just 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give the salad different flavors. For a sweet and tart salad, use a Granny Smith apple. For a sweeter salad, use a Honeycrisp or Fuji apple.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli will start to wilt if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This broccoli apple salad is a healthy and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and nutritious salad that the whole family will enjoy.
