1-Minute Perfectly Chopped Lettuce and Dressing! Also works in TM31, TM5 and TM7. This is my favourite way to make a chopped salad - wash, chop and dress the lettuce all in less than a minute. Watch my quick video to see exactly how it's done...
What makes this hack just so quick and easy is our Thermo Lid Strainer - this product hooks under the lip of your Thermomix bowl, securing in place, and then acting as a perfect sieve. Cook and drain pasta, eggs, lentils, rice and vegetables, wash fruits and vegetables, sieve and strain stocks, sauces, cordials and lemonade and even wash off potato peel residue after peeling using your Thermomix Blade Cover and Peeler. Say goodbye to bulky kitchen tools and messy transfers – the Thermo Lid Strainer streamlines your cooking process, minimizing clean-up and maximizing efficiency.
Method
-
Cut an iceberg lettuce into six and place as many pieces as will fit in your Thermomix bowl.
- Add 1L water.
- Chop on dough/kneading function for 30 seconds.
- Drain your lettuce - this is made SO easy (and no extra bulky dishes to wash!) using our Thermo Lid Strainer, available exclusively here.
- Add in dressing of choice (French dressing would be my pick!), or simply a splash of olive oil, white wine vinegar and a generous pinch of salt. Mix for 10 seconds, reverse speed 4.
Done! I love this as a side salad just on it’s own, but also makes a brilliant base for so many chopped salads - add cucumber, radish, cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, chickpeas, black beans, feta, olives, avocado, toasted nuts, croutons... world’s your oyster!
