# Istruzioni:
01 -
Chop broccoli into small, bite-sized florets no larger than a quarter. Dice red onion very finely to ensure even distribution without overpowering.
02 -
Core and dice the Honeycrisp apple into 1/2-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for color and nutrients. Roughly chop pecans if whole.
03 -
Gently mix broccoli, red onion, apple, dried cranberries, pecans, and shredded cheddar in a large bowl, ensuring even distribution.
04 -
Whisk mayonnaise until smooth. Slowly add apple cider vinegar while whisking. Stir in honey and season to taste. Dressing should be pourable but thick enough to coat ingredients.
05 -
Pour dressing over salad and fold gently to coat evenly without crushing broccoli. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2 hours for best flavor.
06 -
Before serving, gently toss salad to redistribute dressing. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve chilled.
# Note utili:
01 -
Salad improves in flavor overnight as ingredients meld.
02 -
Blanching broccoli briefly and shocking in ice water maintains crispness while softening texture.
03 -
Reserve some cheese, nuts, and cranberries to sprinkle on top for presentation.
04 -
Store dressing separately if making ahead to keep ingredients crisp.
