Crunchy Asian Greens Salad
Easy, its all about the dressing (not the bass) and you know how easy dressings are to whiz up in your Thermomix!
I recently was asked to provide a bunch of salads for a family function (not my family, someone elses!!) and so in an effort to be a little more interesting than your standard lettuce, tomato, cucumber....and given that I had all these other amazing salads (all in For Foods Sake, I don't mind mentioning!!) I really only needed a green salad of sort, and well...this is the result.
We just love it, so much so that it now appears in The Weekend Table. This picture is from that book. I also now grow Vietnamese mint which maybe my favourite herb after coriander/cilantro as divisive as that may be!
