About this recipe
Chunky Coleslaw with your Thermomix TM7 is the recipe that turns the humble cabbage into the star of your table. Searching for quick salad recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This is the one. Crisp white cabbage, sweet carrots and tangy Granny Smith apple are chopped to a uniform, chunky consistency in mere seconds, something no knife and cutting board can match. The mayonnaise dressing coats every piece evenly, balancing the sharpness of the onion with the apple's natural sweetness. Serve it alongside barbecued meats, pile it into burgers, or pack it in lunchboxes for a crunchy midday treat. Because the TM7 handles all the slicing work hands-free, you save more than ten minutes of prep and avoid onion tears entirely. Perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks and quick weeknight dinners alike.
Preparation tips
- Chill the coleslaw for at least half an hour before serving: the salt draws moisture from the cabbage while the mayonnaise dressing soaks into the carrot and apple, creating a creamier overall texture.
- Cut the cabbage into wedges or chunks before adding it to the mixing bowl; smaller pieces guarantee an even, chunky result without large leaves remaining intact between the blades.
- For a lighter version, replace part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or plant-based mayo; the lemony acidity still balances the sweetness of the Granny Smith apple beautifully.
Recipe variations
- Make an Asian-style coleslaw by swapping the mayonnaise for a dressing of sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and a touch of honey, then sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and fresh coriander over the cabbage and carrot.
- For a festive winter version, add thin wedges of red cabbage and grated celeriac to the white cabbage, and stir a spoonful of wholegrain mustard and a dash of apple juice through the mayonnaise for extra depth.
