1/3 cup raw almond, roughly chopped.

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped.

4 tbsp apple cider vinegar, or tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice.

1/2 tsp garlic powder, or 2-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced.

INSTRUCTIONS.

Start by preparing your creamy dressing, in a mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt and vinegar.

Add garlic, salt, and pepper and whisk again until well combined, set aside in the fridge.

Bring a large pot with water to a boil, once boiling insert the broccoli florets into the water. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp-tender.

Do not overcook, immediately dunk broccoli into an ice bath (a large bowl filled with icy-cold water), then allow broccoli to completely drain in a colander or on towels.

In a large serving bowl, add broccoli florets, pomegranate, almonds, onion, and yogurt mixture, and whisk together until well combined.

Serve and enjoy.
