Main ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets fresh and green
- 1 cup Greek yogurt for creamy touch
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese to bring some sharpness

Instructions
Instructions
- First, toss broccoli florets into a mixing bowl. You catch the vibrant green and it makes you wanna get going.
- Then stir in the Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and sunflower seeds. You see how creamy and colorful everything looks together, dang.
- Next, grab a smaller bowl to whip up your dressing. Combine apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and shiny.
- Pour that dressing all over your broccoli mix. Toss it gently but real good so every bit's coated evenly.
- Now scoop everything into your pressure cooker. Check the broth depth if you added any liquids before sealing the lid tight.
- Lock the lid and make sure the float valve is set. You wait for it to kick in and hear that satisfying valve hiss.
- Once done, use the slow release method so steam puffs out gently and your salad stays crisp but infused with flavor.
- Chill your salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This step is key to let it settle and come together real good.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain creamy texture without drying out. For meal prep, keep dressing separate and add just before serving to keep broccoli crisp.
