  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

  • Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, sliced strawberries, red onion, raisins (or dried cranberries).

  • Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.

  • Add crunch: Sprinkle the sunflower seeds or chopped almonds on top for added crunch, if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute the mayonnaise and Greek yogurt with vegan mayo and plant-based yogurt, Customize the fruit by adding blueberries, grapes, or apples for extra sweetness.For a different texture, swap the sunflower seeds for walnuts, pecans, or cashews.Adding a bit of crumbled feta or goat cheese enhances the tangy flavors, and crispy chickpeas are a great alternative
