1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water for shocking.
2. Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower florets in boiling water for 2 minutes until bright and slightly tender.
3. Drain the florets and immediately transfer them to the ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to make the dressing.
5. In a large bowl combine the blanched broccoli and cauliflower, diced apple, halved grapes, dried cranberries, toasted walnuts and sliced red onion.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper or a splash of lemon if needed.
8. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately for extra crunch.
9. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light lunch.
