Broccoli Waldorf Salad
Description
The Broccoli Waldorf Salad combines fresh broccoli florets cut into small pieces with diced sharp cheddar cheese, finely chopped red onion, and diced Rockit apples for sweetness and texture contrast. These ingredients are tossed with a dressing made from plain non-fat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, salt, and dried parsley, which adds creaminess and subtle herb flavor without heaviness.
The texture of this salad is crisp and crunchy from the broccoli and apple, while the sharp cheddar adds a tangy richness. The creamy dressing gently coats the ingredients, balancing savory and slightly sweet elements. The absence of lettuce means the salad maintains its texture and does not become watery or soggy quickly.
This salad is well-suited as a side for meals, particularly when a crisp, fresh component is desired. It can be prepared ahead and stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days without losing quality.
Cutting broccoli close to the stalk helps avoid messy bits and ensures uniform pieces. Dicing the apple into small cubes integrates its sweetness evenly throughout.
Ingredients
- 6 cups broccoli 32 oz bag pre-cut florets, florets
- ½ cup cheddar cheese sharp
- 1 red onion small
- 2 cups apple Rockit, diced
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt plain, non-fat
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise light
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp parsley dried
Instructions
- First chop the produce: If you’re broccoli isn’t already cut into florets, chop into bite size pieces. If you buy a pre-cut bag of broccoli, dice up any larger pieces. The smaller the better with this salad! Finely dice the red onion. Dice Rockit Apples.
- Then, add produce to a large mixing bowl along with cheddar cheese.
- For the dressing, in a smaller bowl combine greek yogurt, light mayo, salt, and parsley. Mix until combined.
- Add dressing to the large bowl and toss well until all broccoli florets are covered.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Store salad in an airtight container; it keeps for up to 5 days and does not get soggy because it lacks lettuce.
- Cut broccoli florets by trimming at the stem to avoid small unwanted pieces.
