Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl (or a 2-cup liquid measure), whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the broccoli florets, red onion, raisins, feta cheese, and sunflower seeds. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Dress and Chill: Pour the yogurt dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. (2 hours)

04

Step

Serve: Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss. Adjust seasoning as needed. Enjoy chilled!

For a richer flavor, try toasting the sunflower seeds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool completely before adding to the salad.
If you're not a fan of raisins, substitute dried cranberries or chopped dates for a similar sweetness and chewy texture.
For a vegetarian variation, consider adding some protein such as chickpeas or edamame.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the dressing to your liking. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
Salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I changed was adding a little bit of crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
