  3. Next, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sour cream (or yogurt), the remaining 1 tbsp. of lemon juice, honey, poppy seeds and salt. Taste and add either more lemon juice or more honey, to suit your taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss well to incorporate the dressing onto everything.
  5. Chill for 2-3 hours before serving and refrigerate any leftovers. This will stay good for 2-3 days.
