- Creating the Broccoli and Apple Chopped Salad is simple if you follow these easy steps:

- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and give it another light toss.
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning or sweetness as desired.
- For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before serving.
