Broccoli Apple Salad

I made a delicious salad, in my opinion, for last Saturday's BBQ.  It was a Broccoli Apple salad that I had gotten the recipe from Facebook and it was good.  It did take some time to put it together but it was worth the work.  It isn't the cheapest salad to throw together but the ingredients in it mixed together does make it tasty and the apples stay fresh and don't turn brown.  For you next BBQ or luncheon give this a try.  
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh broccoli florets (1 bag or 2 medium heads)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 large apples, finely chopped ( I used Gala apples)
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Creamy dressing ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or lite mayo - I used miracle whip)
1/2 cup greek yogurt (or low fat)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl combine broccoli, carrots, red onion, apples, pecans and dried cranberries.
2. To make the dressing: whisk together mayonnaise, greek yogurt, lemon jucie, sugar, salt and pepper.
3. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to coat.  Chill until ready to serve.
If you make this let me know what you think!
