A healthy salad with great flavours in every bite. Crunchy broccoli and apple, smoky tasty bacon, sharp tangy cheddar, onion and peanuts. All doused in a tangy, creamy (but lighter) dressing made of Greek yoghurt, mayo, mustard and honey.
Fry the bacon in the oil until cooked through (and crispy if you like), then set aside.
Discard the ‘woody’ end part of the broccoli stalk, then chop the rest of the stalk finely. Then separate the broccoli heads into small florets. Put the florets and chopped stalk into a large bowl.
Slice the apple (no need to peel) into small pieces and put them into a small bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lemon all over the apple, then add the apple and any extra juice to the large bowl with the broccoli.
Now add the onion, cheese and peanuts.
Stir all of the dressing ingredients together well in a medium-sized bowl, then add to the salad. Add black pepper to taste. Mix really well.
Notes
You could substitute the apple for grapes and the peanuts for pecans or walnuts if you like.
