In a small blender or food processor, add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette and process until smooth and creamy. Set aside in a small covered jar.

Core and dice apple. It’s up to you whether you keep the skin or not. Add apple to the broccoli.

Using a mandolin, thinly slice the red onion and add to the broccoli and apple.
