Crisp apples, broccoli, and tangy dressing unite in a refreshing fall favorite.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, diced Honeycrisp apple, dried cranberries, pecans or walnuts, red onion, and shredded cheddar (if using).
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Give the salad a final toss before serving. Enjoy chilled as a side dish or light meal.
