Broccoli Salad: Recipe Review TM5 - The Basic Cookbook UK Version p78

[Nik2WIN]

I'm ashamed to say this was my first introduction to Thermomix chopped salads and at a customers house during a demonstration too.

I loved it (although I'm alone in the house on eating salads) and although I can't eat raw broccoli usually - I have no problem with this.  I really need to up my vegetable intake and eat more healthily generally and this little baby helps a lot.

I am utterly adoring my TM5

Hi, I also am not given to salads that much but nevertheless, this was my first recipe I have made with my TM5 which arrived today. Broccoli salad sounds a bit uninviting and you think that it is going to just taste of raw broccoli I  scaled this recipe to 1/3 and wondered if that would alter it's appearance.I need not have worried. I used red wine vinegar instead of the white. I loved this salad. It had a refreshing flavour  Very fresh and healthy I thought with an edge to it that I hadn't expected.  Already I have entered it in as a favourite.

Looks good Dot.A great start to your TM5 cooking adventures.

That looks really lovely DD, I've never eaten raw broccoli but your picture tells me I should give it a go this summer. It looks better than the picture of the broccoli salad in the EDC for the TM31, I wonder if it's the same recipe?

[Decadent Dot]

Hello Judy, I had to part with my book on the TM31 but maybe someone has that recipe on here. I am guessing that it is not ethical to send the TM5 one.  but maybe I could have just mentioned the difference.

[JulieO]

Does anyone know if this is the same as in the Australian T5 cookbook please?

DD, yours looks really good. 

[CreamPuff63]

Yes its the same recipe

I've only made this once and wasn't that impressed. I will give it another go and try red wine vinegar.

[JulieO]

Thanks CP.  Will get the recipe from my dtr and give it a try.

I've been looking to expand my salad recipes so was pleased to come across this post. I made this salad last night (recipe from EDC) and despite some misgivings about eating raw broccoli my DH loved it. I left out the onion and used a glug of TM mayo along with a little less yoghurt and was very happy with it. I didn't bother peeling the pink lady apple and it looked quite festive.

[JulieO]

In the Australian T5 book it doesn't ask for vinegar of any discription in this recipe, but does ask for 20g lemon juice.  Can I ask if this is the same amount of vinegar to use (instead of lemon juice) in the UK book please?

[Cornish Cream]

They ask for 15g of fruit vinegar or white balsamic vinegar Julie.
I'll PM you the ingredients so you can compare the two recipes.

[JulieO]

Thanks so much for that Cornish, really appreciate it.

Another simple delicious salad.I didn't have enough red pepper ( capsicum) so added a orange one to make up the weight.

[judydawn]

Just gave this a go, halved the recipe and substituted yoghurt with Ranch dressing, used white balamic vinegar instead of the lemon juice and my TM31 recipe didn't include any red pepper which I didn't have anyway.

After 8 years I finally got around to trying this salad and I was pleasantly surprised.  It was your link today that finally got the job done Denise so I thank you for that.
