Notes
Here are some special tips/notes:
Broccoli prep: For a crunchier bite, keep the broccoli raw. If you prefer a softer texture, blanch the florets in hot water for 1–2 minutes and then cool them in ice water before using.
Cheese swap: Fresh mozzarella adds creaminess, but you can replace it with feta for tang or skip cheese entirely for a dairy-free version.
Nut variations: Roasted cashews bring richness, but almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds work beautifully for different textures.
Dressing consistency: If you like a thinner dressing, add 1–2 tablespoons of water or extra lemon juice before blending.
Make ahead: You can prep the dressing a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Toss the salad just before serving to keep the veggies crisp.
Storage tip: Once dressed, the salad keeps well for up to 24 hours in the fridge. For best freshness, store salad and dressing separately if planning to eat later.
Flavor boost: A pinch of chili flakes or ground cumin in the dressing can give a subtle kick.
Vegan option: Replace Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut yogurt and skip mozzarella for a completely plant-based version.
