Red And Green Salad
This is such a pretty recipe to look at that you should really stop to appreciate it, before completely snarfing it down! Great for Christmas as it is so colorful and SOOO YUMMY!
You don’t really need a Thermomix for this one....Don't overdo the steaming of the beans though and be ready and waiting with a big ole ice bucket full of water so you can stop the cooking process or this pretty picture won't be what you end up with!
This could easily be doubled!
