Fast, fresh and fabulous. This is my take on the Thermomix Basic Cookbook recipe. It calls for fresh coriander which I don’t always have but I do have parsley and mint growing in the garden and I think that is a lovely combination in this salad.
The original recipe includes ¼ red onion and a green apple but I omit the onion (as I’m not mad on it raw) and I find a red apple, such as a Pink Lady, also works well.
Here’s a confession, I often don’t peel the beetroots especially if they don’t have tough looking skins. I just give them and the carrots a good scrub under cold water. Not nearly so messy!
2 medium (approx. 400g) raw beetroots, quartered
2 large (approx. 200g) raw carrots, roughly chopped
1 apple, quartered and cored
20g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
20g pomegranate molasses
Juice of ½ lemon (approx. 20g)
Pinch of salt or to taste
Big handful of fresh herb leaves such as coriander, parsley, mint (or a combination)
Place all ingredients in TM bowl and chop 2-3 sec/speed 5. Scrape down sides and repeat.
