Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the dressing by combining plain yogurt, a splash of milk, apple cider vinegar, sugar or honey, and salt and pepper in a mason jar. Shake until well blended and creamy. Refrigerate as you prepare the salad ingredients.
  2. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets and slice the Honeycrisp apple into thin, crisp slices. Optionally, sprinkle lemon juice on the apple slices to prevent browning. Add to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Finely slice the red onion and add to the bowl. Pour in the raisins and sunflower seeds, then gently toss all ingredients together to combine.
  4. Retrieve the chilled dressing and pour it evenly over the salad. Toss gently to combine, then let the salad rest in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
  5. Before serving, crumble crispy bacon over the salad and toss gently once more to distribute. Serve chilled.
