I also look for healthy eating lunch recipes I can make ahead and pack up to take to work every day of the week. And then, hallelujah, I found another amazing one for my arsenal! This broccoli, apple and blueberry salad packs nutritious ingredients and delicious flavor.
This superhealthy recipe is from the food blogger Kristine’s Kitchen and is packed with such high-fiber, nutrient-dense ingredients as broccoli, apples, blueberries, red onion, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds. Instead of an all-factory-made salad dressing or one containing a lot of mayonnaise, the dressing here is made with healthful ingredients such as Greek yogurt, honey and lemon juice.
I think my favorite thing about this recipe is the mixture of textures and flavors. You have a lovely crunch from the broccoli, sunflower seeds and apples, but also sweetness from the fresh fruit and dried cranberries. The best of both worlds!
See the full ingredient list and step-by-step directions here. So can’t wait to prep a huge batch of this broccoli salad on Sunday and take it for lunch all next week!
And if you want something warm and hearty, don’t miss this cheesy broccoli potato bake—it’s a perfect side that takes broccoli straight to comfort food.
