Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli florets, chopped small (about 4 cups)
- 1 large apple, diced small (about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup matchstick cut carrots
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup red onion
- ½ cup pecans
Dressing
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the chopped apples in lemon juice to help prevent them from browning.
- Add in the broccoli, carrots, onions, dried cranberries, with the apples.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture. Toss to coat and combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
Notes
- My number one tip is chop the broccoli into small pieces because its easier to eat.
- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best crunch.
- I like to toss my chopped apples in a little bit of lemon juice to help prevent them from browning. This is especially helpful if you make the salad ahead of time.
- Let the broccoli salad chill in the refrigerator before serving for the best flavor.
