Ingredients (11)

8 oz broccoli
2 oz red onion diced
1 oz baked bacon crumbled
1 oz dried cranberries
1 oz sliced almond
1 oz cashew
1 oz walnuts
4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp white sugar
4 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring a pot of water to the boil. While you wait, cut the broccoli into florets. Add 8 oz broccoli florets into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute.

Remove and immediately soak the broccoli florets in the ice water until cool. Drain them well.

In a small bowl, mix together 4 tbsp yogurt, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/8 tsp salt and 4 tsp lemon juice. Stir well until smooth.

In a large bowl, add broccoli florets, 2 oz red onion, 1 oz bacon, 1 oz dried cranberries, and all the nuts (1 oz sliced almond, 1 oz cashew, 1 oz walnuts). Drizzle the dressing over the broccoli combination and toss all the ingredients.

Let the salad cool (I like to let it sit in the fridge for an hour but this is not necessary) and serve.
