My Broccoli Salad

- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
12
ingredients
- 8 cups fresh broccoli (about 6 stalks)
- 5 apples (or so, use your favourite kind)
- 400 g trail mix (the mix of nuts and raisins)
- 175 g dried cranberries
- 350 g low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments (optional)
directions
- Chop broccoli up. Bite sized pieces are the nicest.
- Throw in a large bowl.
- Cut the apples into quarters. Core them. Leave the skin on though, it adds a nice colour and texture to the salad. Cut each quarter into three wedges. Then slice them into bite sized pieces.
- Throw them into same bowl.
- Toss youth mix and cranberries on top.
- Cut orange segments in half (if using).
- Toss in the bowl.
- Scoop vanilla yogurt on top. I use two of those little yogurt cups for the vanilla yogurt.
- Mix well. I find that two large wooden spoons works well. IT won't look like there is enough yogurt at first -- but keep stirring.
- This can be served right away -- but the flavours are best when it has sat in the fridge for at least an hour.

Hands down this is a great recipe! Perfect. Refreshing and love the use of the vanilla yogurt. These all are ingredients that I always have on hand which is a big plus in my book when you live 16 miles from the grocery store. Thanks Saturn for a keeper. And thank you Bayhill for recommending this recipe. Made for "I RECOMMEND" RECIPE TAG.

*Made for Photo Swap* Delicious!! This salad is a nice, healthy change from traditional mayonnaise and bacon laden broccoli salads. We loved the combination of fruit and nuts with the broccoli, and the yogurt added a nice tang. This salad will become a regular in my house...we loved it!! Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
