Instructions to make Broccoli and Apple Salad with a Honey Poppyseed Dressing:

- For the broccoli, you want to trim off the florets into small, bite sized pieces. Place them in the bowl with the apples, the grated carrot, the dried cranberries, walnuts and pepitas (or sunflower seeds). Toss it all together.
- Next, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sour cream (or yogurt), the remaining 1 tbsp. of lemon juice, honey, poppy seeds and salt. Taste and add either more lemon juice or more honey, to suit your taste.
- Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss well to incorporate the dressing onto everything.
- Chill for 2-3 hours before serving and refrigerate any leftovers. This will stay good for 2-3 days.
