Ingredients
- 2 count broccoli crowns
- 1 lb red grapes
- 2 cans low-sodium chickpeas (15 oz cans)
- 2 oz crumbled blue cheese
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp salt
Steps
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the broccoli into small bite-size florets, boil them for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water so they stay bright and crisp-tender.
- Halve the grapes. Rinse and drain the chickpeas.
- Whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the broccoli, grapes, and chickpeas and toss to coat. Top with blue cheese.
- Serve right away or chill 10 minutes for the flavors to come together.
- Picky eaters can have plain broccoli, grapes, and chickpeas with the dressing and blue cheese on the side.
- Make ahead: cook and chill the broccoli, halve the grapes, and mix the dressing up to 1 day ahead. Store them separately and toss together before serving.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
