I had just made Mayo., and usually , after scraping out bowl, add an avocado to make a dressing/dip. This time I added........
1 small carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
1 stick of celery, chopped
1/2 a green apple, core removed, chopped
2 large radishes.
Put the hardest veg in the bowl first, so carrot, radish, celery and then apple. Set for 2 seconds, speed 5. Done.
Plenty for 2 .
Can just add a dessertspoon of Mayo if not making the Mayo first.
I've also added 1/2 avo or some olives.
You can use any combination of vegetables.

McMich - I made this salad again today. I used commercial mayo but it was still great.
DH doesn't like coleslaw but loves this. It was more of a 5 second salad, a bit finer texture.
It went really well with your favourite quiche for lunch today.
Amy - I made this tonight to serve with our homemade fish and chips, it was delicious and soooo easy. I added some capsicum and a spring onion to the salad, and served it on a bed of lettuce with homegrown cherry tomatoes and some avocado. Thanks for the recipe Chookie.
Lucyloo - Skipped the radishes and added cucumber and a few spinach leaves. Very nice. Thanks chookie.
Cookie1 - Our radishes are prolific at the moment so I have been whizzing this up on a daily basis. So lovely.

Looks great achookwoman. Did you take the mayo out first, chop salad and then combine in a bowl or did you add the ingredients to the mayo and then chop?
-
Lisa, the salad is made with the remains of Mayo, after it has been removed from bowl. It always seems a shame to waste what can't be scraped out.
-
Ah right. I get it. Thanks. Still so very new to all of this but I'm learning! :)
-
lisa Just ask, you will soon be telling us what to do. We were all new to this fab machine once.
-
I havent made a salad yet - at my demo the consultant made a coleslaw which was pretty mushy. Its kind of put me off trying - might do one this weekend

Hi achookwoman ;)
Im yet to get my machine but am hooked to the forum already... Something you added here made me stop & think for a second (which is rare ???)
You suggested to add the apple last.. So do you mean ~ Add all ingredients at the same time but "layer" the ingredients so that the denser ingredients are at the bottom (closer to the blades) & get moe blitzed..??

Yes , that is right fayeeg. Much better expressed.

Gread idea, Chookie. Will remember this one.
-
Ever so easy and a great way to use up the mayo in the bowl.
-
5 second salad, that's for me and it's nice to have proportions for 2 people as well as using up the mayo.
-
Yesterday I add 1/2 avo and today some olives. Love it. Glad you like it also.
-
2 second salad, not 5 second (still becoming acquainted with my thermomix).
I will add olives when I'm taking it to the next BBQ etc, I love olives, although that's
possibly the one thing DH doesn't take a shine to. The avocado sounds good too.

Make it and take out half for DH, then fold the olives through your 1/2. 2 seconds gives a nice chunky salad.

Must put radishes on my shopping list so that I can try this. Love the look of that piece of fish Amy.
-
Why thank you Judy, it was rather yummy :D The flavours and texture of the salad went very nicely with the fish, so nicely that I don't think I would serve this salad with anything else ;D
-
Looks good Amy
-
Amy, looks good.
Judy, you can use any combination of veggies.
-
Amy I like my chips nice and crispy , Please ;)
-
Brenda ;D ;D I did them in our new microwave and I still haven't worked out the crisp function yet :-))
Thanks Chookie and Frozzie :D
-
We love this salad too. In fact we had it very often when we drove to Adelaide. It is so quick and easy.
On Thursday I made it for lunch and was asked for that recipe too as both ladies own thermomixes.
-
Cookie, glad to see you spreading the word.
-
That looks fabulous Amy.
