Strawberry Broccoli Salad
Description
This salad features a base of fresh broccoli florets mixed with diced Granny Smith apples, which lend tartness, and cubes of Colby jack cheese providing mild richness. Fresh strawberries are gently folded in last to maintain their shape and add a sweet contrast.
The dressing mixes lemon juice, white vinegar, sugar, mayonnaise, and poppy seeds to balance creamy, sweet, and acidic flavors, coating the ingredients thoroughly. Toasted almonds sprinkled on top contribute a toasty crunch that contrasts the tender produce and cheese.
