5 Minute Super Star Salad! - Dominique Ludwig Nutrition

Lettuce, cucumber and tomato are more of a garnish for me than a salad. Yes they contain some nutrients that are beneficial for our health, but they also hold a lot of water.
Using hard vegetables increases the nutrient density. They are also richer in compounds that are good for our health, such as a flavonoids, carotenoids and polyphenols.
It’s simple, the more colourful your vegetables, the better they are for you and your gut.
I have used beetroot and carrot, but you could equally use red pepper, apple, and broccoli or cauliflower, carrots,red cabbage and radishes.
Hard vegetables are denser and have a bigger punch when it comes to nutrition, so you get a bigger bang for your buck!
So here it is. A 5-minute salad, that lasts up to 3 days in the fridge that you make it in the food processor, with the dressing. It couldn’t be easier.
Ingredients, serves 4-6
400g carrots, chopped into chunks (I don’t bother peeling if they’re organic)
400 g beetroot, chopped into chunks. (I do peel this because the skin is tougher)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (if possible with mother).
1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor. I have used a Thermomix to find out more contact @martas_thermomix_kitchen
Or, you can use a large bowl S-blade food processor or one with a grater. Check how powerful your motor is, as this will dictate how small you should chop the vegetables.
2.Add all the dressing ingredients.
3. Pulse for around five seconds, or grate with the dressing ingredients at the bottom of the bowl already.
And there you have it, a salad in less than five minutes.
This will last for up to 3 days in your fridge. I like to serve mine with tangy, goats cheese, or feta, but it works with just about everything. It’s a great way of helping us to eat more vegetables.
This isn’t a sales pitch as I am absolutely not on commission, but I do know that Thermomix has a really special offer on at the moment with 0% finance, I don’t know the details, but if you’re hankering after one of these machines, this offer doesn’t come round very often.
