Place the apples and vegetables into the Thermomix bowl.
Chop the vegetables for a couple of seconds. Don't over chop or you'll end up with mush!

Of course! Simply finely chop the vegetables with a knife and whisk the dressing together in a small bowl before combining.
No - it would exceed the capacity of the Thermomix bowl.

Hi, I want to amie this but forgot to buy buttermilk, can I just omit it?
Thanks!
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Tanya, you can make your own buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk and leaving it for a few minutes. xx
Melissa says
It's really yum but should update the measurements to be weights, might as Well use the scale function given the price of the machine.

Hi Melissa, thanks for your feedback! We haven't converted some of our old recipes (like this one!) to grams yet, but are working our way through them all. All of the new recipes are in grams. Our apologies!
