Comments
I must say, I am confused by step 3 of this recipe. I am not sure why you would put all of the salad ingredients into the Thermomix and chop them up. I just cooked the chicken and Quinoa in the Thermomix. I ended up having to transfer the chicken on to the Thermo tray as it wasn’t cooking evenly in the dish. I shook the salad dressing ingredients in a jar, I thought this was easier. I found the dressing a bit heavy in the oil however my lemon wasn’t very big. Next time I will try an orange and less oil. I added avocado as I had half a one left in the fridge. I rinsed the quinoa under cold water as I couldn’t imagine having hot quinoa with this salad. I forgot to use the slivered almonds once they cooled. 🙁 I good base recipe for me to create my own. Thank you.
Thank you - what a simple quick dinner idea!
