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!

Excellent flavour...really enjoyed this.
I generally don't like salads, but this one is awesome.....so tasty!!
Delicious!! So fresh and full of flavour! I used dried craisins instead of cranberries. Will definitely make this again!
Delicious! Thanks for sharing!!
This was delicious. I was too hungry to wait for the quinoa to completely cool but it did not make a difference......looking forward to my lunch tomorrow.
Loved it. Hubby and son loved it to.
love thgis recipe. we make it at least once a week
Has anyone served this warm?
YUM! I made a 2/3 serving of this with Moghrabieh Couscous (kinda like large balls of couscous) and it was just divine. I live by myself and it saves really well in the fridge, giving me a scrumptious, effortless lunch/dinner for a couple of days. Happy days!
Wow! This is a fantastic recipe! Absolutely beautiful. Perfect for my family which consists of two shift workers and small children. Quick, easy and nutritious! I chopped my chicken and the apple in the thermo but that was just personal choice! This will be a regular in our family! Thank you!
