Ingredients
Dressing
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Salad
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion
- 12 ounces broccoli slaw mix
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup toasted sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add onion to dressing: Stir in the finely diced red onion into the dressing and let it sit for 5 minutes to mellow the sharpness of the onion and infuse flavor.
- Combine salad ingredients: Add the broccoli slaw mix, dried cranberries, and toasted sunflower seeds to the bowl with the dressing.
- Toss the salad: Toss all ingredients together until the broccoli slaw mix and other components are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Chill and serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for 30 to 60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, toss the salad once more to redistribute the dressing.
Notes
- This slaw is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with a vegan mayo option to make it dairy-free.
- For added crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
- Adjust the honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- If you prefer a saltier taste, sprinkle a bit more salt before serving.
