In just 15 minutes, you can prepare a fresh, colorful, and energy-packed dish that combines crisp vegetables with the sweet and tangy note of apple. Perfect for anyone who wants to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor.

An ideal salad as a main dish, side, or healthy snack on the go.

🥕 Ingredients (for 4 servings)

🌿 1 bunch of chives (≈ 30 g)
🫑 1 red bell pepper (≈ 150 g)
🥕 150 g carrots
🥬 150 g kohlrabi
🍎 2 apples (about 200 g each)
🌻 20 g sunflower seeds
🍋 1 tbsp lemon juice (≈ 15 ml)
🫒 25 g sunflower oil
🧂 1 tsp salt (≈ 5 g)
⚫ ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

💡 Tip: For a more intense flavor, replace part of the sunflower oil with high-quality olive oil.

👩‍🍳 Preparation in the Thermomix – step by step

1️⃣ Chop the chives

Wash and dry the chives thoroughly. Place them in the mixing bowl and chop for 3 sec / speed 8. Remove and set aside.

2️⃣ Prepare the vegetables and fruit

Wash and deseed the bell pepper. Peel the carrot and kohlrabi. Core the apples and – if the skin is thin – cut them with the peel on (it adds color and fiber).

3️⃣ Mix everything in the bowl

Add the prepared vegetables and fruit to the mixing bowl together with the sunflower seeds, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper.
Chop for 5 sec / speed 4.

💡 Tip: For a chunkier texture, mix for only 3 seconds; for a finer consistency, increase to 6–7 seconds.

4️⃣ Serve or store

Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and crunchy contrast.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator – keeps fresh for up to 3 days.

This salad is not only delicious but also a real source of vitamins and fiber.
