- In a large bowl, toss together all of the salad ingredients – broccoli, cauliflower, apple, red onion, celery, green onion, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and almonds or walnuts.

Notes
You can prep this salad a day in advance. Combine all the salad ingredients in a bowl except for the almonds. Toss the apple in a little lemon juice before adding it to the bowl. About half an hour before serving, add the almonds and the dressing to the bowl and toss until everything is coated and well combined.
