Instructions
  1. Prepare the Vegetables - Wash and chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets. Shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Dice the red onion and celery into small pieces. Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Dressing - In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Combine and Chill - Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Add sunflower seeds and dried cranberries if using. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Serve and Enjoy - Give the salad a final toss before serving. Add more seeds or fresh herbs as garnish if desired. This salad can be served immediately or stored for later.

Notes

This salad stores beautifully for up to 4 days and flavors improve overnight. Perfect for meal prep and potlucks as it travels well and doesn't wilt easily.
