Broccoli Waldorf Salad
Description
Broccoli Waldorf Salad features a mix of raw broccoli florets and crunchy grated carrot paired with sweet, crisp red apples and dried cranberries or raisins. Toasted walnuts or pecans add richness and a nutty flavor, while red onion contributes sharpness and color contrast. The ingredients are combined and coated in a creamy dressing made from yogurt, light mayonnaise, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and seasoning.
The salad’s texture contrasts fresh crunch from vegetables and apples with chewy dried fruit and crisp nuts, all tied together by the tangy and slightly sweet dressing. It is tossed just before serving to keep broccoli crisp.
This salad fits well as a side dish in warm-weather meals or a light lunch component. It can complement grilled meats or be part of a picnic spread.
Toast nuts by baking them at 350°F (180°C) for about 8 minutes, then cool before chopping to enhance flavor. Leftover salad keeps well refrigerated for 2-3 days; storing dressing separately can help maintain crispness longer.
