Broccoli Salad with Creamy Feta-Yogurt Dressing

Finely chopped raw broccoli stays crisp and fresh in a creamy dressing made from tangy feta and cool yogurt.

Chickpeas add protein and heartiness, while sweet red bell pepper brings color and crunch.

Lemon juice and garlic brighten every bite.

Serve immediately or let it chill for the flavors to meld.

Kitchen Tips

• Chop broccoli finely: Small pieces coat better with dressing and are easier to eat
• Rinse and drain chickpeas: This removes excess sodium and the canning liquid
• Use good feta: Quality feta makes a noticeable difference in the creamy dressing
• Adjust garlic: Start with one clove and add more if you want bolder flavor
• Let it rest: The salad tastes even better after sitting 30 minutes

Variations

• Add diced cucumber or cherry tomatoes for more vegetables
• Toss in toasted sunflower seeds or pine nuts for crunch
• Mix in fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or mint
