In a large salad bowl, make your dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and half the green onion. Set aside.
Wash and dry your broccoli and pat dry with a paper towel. Chop into bite-sized pieces and combine with carrots and cheddar in your dressing bowl.
Fold ingredients together to coat the veggies, cover, and chill for 30-60 minutes before serving.
Before serving mix in cranberries and sunflower seeds and top with remaining green onion. Enjoy!
Notes
Chilling for an hour helps develop the flavors in this crunchy broccoli salad. If you're pressed for time, feel free to dig in sooner. I'm not known for my patience and always snag a little to munch on right away while chilling the rest. Hope y'all love this lightened up broccoli salad as much as we do!If you go overboard with the mix-ins and extra ingredients (because, yum!) and the dressing can't cover your creation don't fret! Just whip up a little extra and add as needed. Easy peasy!Nutrition Facts below are estimated using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
