Families are busy. It doesn’t matter if you are a stay at home mom or working out of the house full time, by the time dinner comes around, things are just busy. In our house, I work all day from home. I have deadlines to meet. The kids get home from school and it is time for snacks, homework, dinner, baths and snuggles. That’s one of the reasons this Broccoli Apple Salad is a perfect recipe to try. It’s quick to make, delicious, and a salad that works with a lot of different entrees.
BROCCOLI APPLE SALAD
Salads full of vegetables and fruit are great any time of the year. I think my favorite thing about salads are the different textures that you can try.
I will admit at first my family wasn’t too thrilled when they found out I was making a salad that had broccoli in. Believe me, their thoughts were quickly changed once they tried this crunchy salad. If broccoli is your jam, I have a few other delicious broccoli recipes that I think will enjoy, like my Amish Broccoli Salad, my Broccoli Bacon Salad without Mayo, and my Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli.

Ingredients
- 4 cups of chopped broccoli
- 2 large apples
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1 cup carrots
- 1/2 cup onions (We do not add onions to our. My daughter doesn't like them so we just avoid them)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar (I use either one, depending on what I have on hand)
Instructions
Chop the broccoli and apple into bite sized pieces.
If using onions, dice into small pieces.
Cut the carrots. Sometimes I buy the matchstick carrots. Oftentimes, since I always have baby carrots on hand, I use a mandolin to make thin sliced carrot coins. It doesn't matter how the carrots are cut, it is really personal preference.
Add the raisins.
In a separate bowl, combine the dressing ingredients.
