2–3 green onions, thinly sliced

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup lightly salted roasted almonds, roughly chopped
¾ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon fine salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower, diced apple, red onion, celery, green onions, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and chopped almonds.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes
Swap almonds with walnuts or pecans for a different flavor.
Replace part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
Use blue cheese instead of feta for a stronger taste.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; best served cold.
Lemon juice helps prevent apples from browing.
