INGREDIENTS
Strawberry Broccoli Salad
- 4 heaping cups chopped broccoli
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 pear, chopped
- 1 sweet apple, like Fuji, chopped
- 1 large avocado, chopped
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries*
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup caramelized pecans, chopped (optional)
Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing
- 1/2 cup real mayonnaise (full fat is best)
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (I use nonfat)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1-2 Tablespoons sugar (2 for sweeter)
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl except avocadoes.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Add dressing to salad and toss until evenly coated. Best if chilled for at least 30 minutes up to overnight. Toss with avocadoes before serving.
NOTES
*The dried cranberries make the salad in my opinion, so I wouldn't skip them!
