This broccoli salad has many different textures and flavors that come together to make such a delicious dish. Broccoli and pecans add crunch, apples and dried cranberries add sweetness, and to round it out a simple dressing that has a hint of lemon. If you wish not to use yogurt in the dressing just double the amount of mayonnaise. When preparing this for just my husband and I, I cut the recipe in half because it does make a lot. Enjoy!
4 C. fresh broccoli florets, (about 2 medium heads)
1/2 C. shredded carrots

In a large bowl combine broccoli, carrots, red onion, apples, pecans, and dried cranberries. In a smaller bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to coat. Chill until ready to serve.
