Detox Salad
This detox salad combines broccoli, cabbage, peppers and avocado with a creamy yoghurt, lemon and olive oil dressing. The Thermomix TM7 chops the vegetables in seconds and blends the dressing to a silky consistency. A fresh, crunchy starter or light lunch that showcases how the chopping function eliminates manual knife work entirely.
About this recipe
Detox Salad Thermomix TM7 recipes are exactly what you need when you want a fresh, vegetable-packed lunch without spending half an hour at the chopping board. This recipe combines broccoli florets, crunchy cabbage, sweet peppers and creamy avocado with a tangy dressing of fat-free yoghurt, extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. What makes this salad special in the all-in-one kitchen machine is the speed: the TM7 chops the onions and cabbage uniformly in seconds, so every forkful has the same fine, even texture instead of uneven hand-cut pieces. The dressing is another highlight, because the machine blends yoghurt, lemon juice and olive oil into a silky emulsion far smoother than whisking by hand. Serve it as a light starter, a quick weeknight dinner side or portion it into jars for a healthy meal-prep lunch. It is vegetarian, naturally nutritious and comes together faster than any traditional method.
Preparation tips
- Cut the broccoli florets into similar-sized pieces before steaming so they cook evenly and keep their bright green colour and pleasant bite for this detox salad.
- Add the avocado cubes only just before serving and toss them gently through the cabbage and pepper mixture, so they stay intact and do not darken at the edges.
- For a thinner dressing, add an extra splash of lemon juice; for a dairy-free version, replace the fat-free yoghurt with a plant-based alternative and season generously with sea salt and pepper.
Recipe variations
- Winter version: swap the peppers for grated carrot and thin apple matchsticks, keeping the broccoli and cabbage base and the same yoghurt-lemon dressing for a seasonal, sweet-crunchy twist.
- Protein boost: add cooked chickpeas or toasted pumpkin seeds to the broccoli and cabbage salad, turning it into a filling lunch bowl that still pairs beautifully with the yoghurt dressing.
