(this picture makes me want garden vegetables really bad!)
How to Make Fresh Broccoli Salad:
1. Wash all the vegetables. Using the Vidalia Chop Wizard, dice all the broccoli, radishes, tomatoes and apple. Finely chop the green onion and grate the carrot. Combine all the veggies in a large salad mixing bowl. Add in the cranberries (cranberries aren’t photographed because they were a last-minute thing that worked really well).
2. In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together until combined: 3 Tbsp sunflower oil or olive oil, 1 Tbsp mayo, 1 Tbsp sour cream, 1/2 tsp of salt, a few dashes of garlic powder and 3 Tbsp lemon juice. Stir the finished dressing into the salad and mix well.
Enjoy :D! P.S. Give the salad a good stir before serving go coat everything nicely with dressing. The same applies for day 2, and day 3 (if it’s still around by then).

Natasha, I have family members that can’t have mayo due to allergies is there another dressing I could use?
You could use an egg-less mayo like vegenaise or just add more sour cream instead of mayo 🙂
Loved this recipe! I added chopped roasted turkey breast and some extra dressing because it was a little dry. Used a food processor so it was very easy to prepare. Awesome flavours and super healthy – thanks!
Oooh I bet it was good with turkey and you definitely would want more dressing if adding meat since turkey is kind of dry by nature. I’m glad you enjoyed the salad 🙂
Looks so yam !!!
Cook’s Note :
A good idea is, if you’re not a fan of raw broccoli, before cutting up the broccoli, to place the heads in boiling water for 3 seconds. This gets rid of the raw taste. The stalks may also be included if desired. It doesn’t really affect the taste.
Ooh that’s a great idea. Thanks Linda!
Natasha
Thank you for your recipe.
Your recipe you can read in any salad recipes websites. Nothing new and complicated.
Ukrainian recipes also very different from real Ukrainian kitchen.
Natasha has many recipes. Some are Ukrainian and others are not. Personally, I think her Russian and Ukrainian recipes are very authentic.
Thank you Jessie 🙂 You’re awesome!
I love Natasha’s compilation of salads, I don’t have to go anywhere else for ideas and healthy recipes, love the step by step photos for the beginner like me, just perfect, very grateful for her page ’cause I can eat salads all day, it’s my main dish, Thank you Natasha, keep it up!
Made this salad for Easter lunch for our huge family and it was a hit! Thank you very much! I felt like there wasn’t enough dressing so made 1/2 portion more 🙂
I’m glad everyone loved the recipe Inna :).
I tried this salad and its super nutritious, I love the apples and the grapes. They add such a fresh taste to the salad. I thought the dressing was a little too sour so I tried 1 cup mayo, 1/4 cup sugar and 2 T vinegar and it was so good! My kids and husband love it! Thank you so much for the new recipes!
Thank you for sharing your version of the dressing Lena, I’m glad you like it :).
I liked the salad, but don’t make big portion because it taste best when its fresh.
That’s true; it’s always best fresh 🙂
I made this but I am not in love with the dressing. Any other dressing suggestions?
Try using the version from my apple and broccoli salad. Let me know how it will turn out.
Natasha, I’m assuming you used fresh broccoli to give it that crunch. What would happen if I used frozen?
I would only use fresh broccoli for this salad, the taste and texture will be wrong if you use frozen.
Yummmm! Natasha, I love you for posting this! This is delicious! I am a big fan of broccoli salads and this one is a keeper!
Sveta, I’m glad you love the recipe :). i will make sure to pass this on to my Mama-in-law.
this is delightful
Thank you dear 🙂
Vidalia chopper makes this salad prep a breeze. Thank you for another great recipe Natasha.
I totally agree with you Katya. I’m glad you like the recipe.
I would totally have to agree.
our A & P supermarket sells something similar..they call it broccoli crunch salad in the deli dept., sooo good..sunflower seeds, raisins, chopped broccoli/cauliflower/red onions, I add craisins…I know I’m missing something else..last time I bought it I wanted to write what was in it..but ate it all
That does sound similar. I love the idea of adding sunflower seeds!
hey:):) this sounds soooo good,but y r the apples added? those it change the taste if i make it w/o the apples?
You can omit any of the ingredients but I like the sweet/tartness that the apples added.
