How to Make Thermomix Broccoli Salad (Step by Step)
- Chop the broccoli: Add broccoli florets to the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 3 seconds on speed 5. Check the consistency—it should be finely chopped but not mushy.
- Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Combine ingredients: Add the chopped onion, grated carrots, diced apple, cranberries, nuts, and feta cheese to a large bowl. Add the chopped broccoli.
- Mix everything together: Pour the creamy dressing over the salad. Gently mix until all ingredients are well coated.
- Chill and serve: Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Pro Tips for the Perfect Broccoli Salad
- Blanch the broccoli for 30 seconds if you prefer a softer texture.
