Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Green olives (pitted and sliced)
• 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the broccoli florets thoroughly. Cut them into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the sliced green olives, thinly sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the broccoli.

Step 3

In a small bowl or a mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss everything gently but thoroughly to combine and evenly coat with the dressing.

Step 5

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended for the best taste.

Step 6

Serve immediately or chill the salad in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
