The simplicity of this Broccoli Apple Salad is its charm; every item has been hand-picked to enhance the flavor. The main ingredients in this salad are usually:
Broccoli Florets: The salad’s foundation is a bed of fresh broccoli florets, which provide a tart and somewhat bitter balance to the apples’ sweetness.
Crisp, sweet apples offer a burst of flavor and freshness to the salad. This is especially true of Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji varieties.
Thinly sliced red onion adds a touch of tanginess and depth to the salad, counteracting the apple’s natural sweetness.
Add a touch of natural sweetness and chewy texture with raisins or dried cranberries. Their flavor complements the other ingredients beautifully.
For a pleasing crunch and nutty taste profile, try toasting walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds. Not only that, but they’re a good source of protein and healthy fats.
