The crunch of fresh broccoli and nuts mixed with sweet chewy raisins in a creamy, tangy dressing make this simple salad a winner for adults and kids alike. Using nonfat Greek yogurt in place of half the mayonnaise increases the protein and keeps fat in check.

¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
¼ cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
