  • 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp.honey
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup grapes

  • 1/4 cup toasted walnut pieces
  • Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

 

Directions

For the dressing, in a small bowl stir together the yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, and honey. Set aside.

Bring 3/4 of an inch of water to a simmer in a large saucepan with a steamer basket. Add the broccoli, cover, and cook until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the broccoli to ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat the cooled broccoli dry with a paper towel.

Place the broccoli in a medium bowl. Add the grapes, carrot, celery, avocado, green onion, and walnuts. Pour the dressing over broccoli mixture and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
