Broccoli & Grape Salad (Recipe 60 of 150)

Broccoli is my favorite veggie. It's pretty versatile really. You can bake it, steam it, sauté it, etc. I rarely eat it raw, but this salad made me want to eat it raw all the time. 

The balance of flavors in this salad was spot on. The savory almonds and the sour of the cranberries and then the sweet of the grapes!! It was outstanding. 

The dressing was also extra special. The combo of greek yogurt and mayonnaise made it more tangy than sweet. Honey made it just sweet enough. 

Really, I can't talk enough about this salad. And the best part, the leftover today. Oh boy!
