About the Recipe
This is a recipe inspired by my cooking training that I’ve done in Thermomix. It is simple and delicious – almost too good to be healthy as well!
Equipment: powerful blender or Thermomix
Ingredients
Dressing Ingredients
4 dates, pitted
½ lemon, peeled, pips removed
2 garlic cloves
1 orange, peeled
1 tsp. Chinese five spice
Thumb-size root ginger, peeled
40g sesame oil
Salad Ingredients
150g red or white cabbage cut into pieces
1 red pepper, deseeded, cut into pieces
80g organic carrots, cut into pieces
100g Tender-stem broccoli
50g runner beans, ends cut off
Bunch coriander leaves
100g bean sprouts
70g peanuts
Preparation
1. Place dates, lemon, orange, garlic, Chinese five spice, ginger and sesame oil in a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Add cabbage, pepper, carrots, broccoli, runner beans and coriander and blend for a very short period of time just to shred the vegetables, not turning them into a pulp. [You can obviously do this part manually, using a knife or a vegetable shredder]
3. Move the salad into a large salad bowl, add the bean sprouts and peanuts and mix in with a spatula. Serve immediately.
