A recipe for the marinated broccoli salad (approximations welcome - I am intuitive when in the kitchen)

1 bunch of broccoli, cut into flowerettes
half a red onion, cut how you like it
a good amount of feta cheese (1 pkg)
celery
carrot
cabbage
sunflower seeds (1/4 cup or so)
raisins (if you like them)

Dressing

1/4 cup yogurt
1/4 mayonaise
tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
tbsp lemon juice
clove of garlic, minced
salt, pepper
a bit of sugar or honey

(all amounts are approximate, depending on how big of a salad you have made)

steam broccoli until still nicely crunchy

julienne the rest of the veg. and put with the broccoli in a big bowl. Add diced feta and sunflower seeds

whisk dressing together, starting with sugar or honey and the acids, til dissolved
i used about half yogurt, half mayo, but again this is to taste. add dressing to veg, and toss.

Let marinate for a couple of hours at least, best overnight.

Voila, a hearty and yummy salad! Feel free to add or subtract veg, depending on personal taste. Also, you could use pecans or almonds for example, instead of sunflower seeds. You get the idea.
