Broccoli Salad

This is a very easy, healthy, yummy lunch!  So using Greek yogurt is my go to when anything has mayo in it.  This recipe is no different!  We will still use mayo but halve it so that way we can keep the calories down.  Here is a pic of the ingredients:

So as you can see there is a fresh broccoli head as well as the broccoli slaw.  The chopped broccoli head really helps to add some texture to the salad.  I don't include the stalk but usually save it for a stir fry later in the week.  I also ran out of slivered almonds here so I chopped some up in my blender and used those!  You can do that too or just buy the slivered almonds...  Mix all the dry ingredients like so:
 Then mix the 'wet' ingredients, the mayo, the apple cider vinegar, greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice and pour over the rest.

Mix it all up and serve 1 and 1/2 cups!  This can be a meal or a side dish to a baked potato dinner, rotisserie chicken, kababs etc.
Ingredients:
1 bag broccoli slaw
1 broccoli head
1/2 chopped red onion
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 lemon squeezed
1 tbsp honey
1/3 cup greek yogurt
1/3 cup mayo
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Mix first 5 ingredients, then mix the rest in separate container and pour over.  Mix well and serve!
