Ingredients
1½ cups broccoli florets, coarsely chopped
½ cup carrots, grated
½ cup cauliflower florets, coarsely chopped
½ cup apple, cored and diced with skin intact
¼ cup green onion, sliced
½ cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
¼ cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, chopped
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before preparing the salad.
In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped broccoli florets, grated carrots, and chopped cauliflower florets.
Add the diced apple with its skin, sliced green onion, and nonfat vanilla yogurt to the vegetable mixture.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with the yogurt dressing.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Just before serving, stir in the chopped roasted peanuts to maintain their crunch, then serve the salad cold.
Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 2 days for best quality.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at any major Charlotte grocer, and broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and apples are cheap year-round; the cost per serving should stay well under $2, driven only by yogurt if you buy premium. The 135 minutes stated is wildly dishonest—chopping vegetables and mixing a yogurt dressing takes 20 minutes tops, making the recipe genuinely misleading to weeknight cooks. The salad is a solid side or light lunch that reheats poorly but works as a same-night cold dish and poses no fussy demands, though it needs to sit briefly for flavors to meld.
