This skinny broccoli salad with Greek yogurt is a lighter versions of your favorite summer salad. It still has all the flavor and your favorite ingredients—broccoli, broccoli slaw, apples, dried cranberries, green onions, bacon, sunflower seeds, and chunks of cheddar cheese all coated in a light honey yogurt dressing for a healthier version of this potluck classic!
In a very large bowl toss together all of the salad ingredients. Set aside.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together all of the salad dressing ingredients until smooth. Pour over top of the salad and toss until salad is completely coated in dressing.
Notes
This makes enough to serve a crowd! Feel free to half the recipe.
Let it marinate. This salad is best after it marinates for at least an hour. The flavors mingle together, and the broccoli softens slightly as it absorbs some of the dressing.
Add the bacon last. If you want your bacon to stay crispy longer, add it right before serving.
Give it a mix. Like salads, the dressing tends to pool at the bottom. So give the salad a quick mix to recoat it all in that yummy Greek yogurt dressing before serving.
