Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli florets, grated carrots, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. This creamy dressing is the heart of your slaw, bringing all the flavors together.
- Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss until every piece is well coated. Don't be shy—get in there and mix!
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the slaw to become refreshingly crisp.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the sunflower seeds and dried cranberries over the top of the slaw for added crunch and sweetness. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the toppings are evenly distributed.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the burst of flavors and textures!
Tips
- For an extra crunch, consider adding some chopped apples or walnuts.
- You can substitute the honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
- Feel free to experiment with other nuts or seeds, such as almonds or pumpkin seeds, to customize your slaw.
