2 second salad

[achookwoman]

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?

[achookwoman]

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!

[achookwoman]

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..??

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.
