Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Katcancook:you're scales must be out because it is extremely tasty no chance of being bland. Worth trying again.
400g quinoa would serve around 10-12 people as a side salad. I started to rinse the quinoa in the basket butsome fell out as the grains are too fine, so swapped it over to a strainer before reinserting into the basket (TM5). The number of ingredients in the dressing could be reduced; just using lemon juice was fine. Otherwise it is a very tasty salad, particularly if you have bountiful homegrown parsley or tomatoes.
400g quinoa?!? It filled the basket and was way too much! With that it all became Bland as the ratios were out. Liked the flavour of the dressing and all components but half the quinoa and it will be better.
Quite good. Works well as a side dish. Would also be good with BBQ meat. I left out the onion as it can be quite strong when it’s raw.
This is a great salad, thanks for sharing.
This salad is delicious, quick and easy! The dressing is a nice summery taste. I added slices of orange, cucumber, crumbed fetta and wedges of boiled egg on top for extra protein. Thanks for this yummy recipe
Delicious. Great with feta and beetroot too.
Great recipe. I add carrots at the same time as the onion to get a few more veggies in there. Delicious.
Yummy!
