Honeycrisp Apple Broccoli Salad is a crisp, refreshing side dish with crunchy broccoli, sweet apples, dried cranberries, nuts, and a creamy tangy dressing. Perfect for fall gatherings, lunches, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 large Honeycrisp apple, diced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (optional)

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, diced apple, cranberries, nuts, cheese, and red onion if using.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  3. Pour dressing over salad and toss until everything is well coated.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Toss again before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • Use a crisp apple like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady for best texture.
  • Substitute cranberries with raisins or chopped dried apricots.
  • Use sunflower seeds for a nut-free version.
  • Greek yogurt can replace mayo for a lighter dressing.
  • Add protein like grilled chicken or chickpeas for a more filling salad.
