If there’s one kitchen appliance that has revolutionized modern cooking, it’s undoubtedly the Thermomix. And if there’s one salad that can become your go-to for light lunches, quick dinners, or even as a star dish at gatherings, it’s this potato and vegetable salad, packed with textures and vibrant flavors.

This recipe is a whirlwind of freshness, where potatoes, carrots, celeriac, and eggs are tossed in a creamy mayonnaise and Dijon mustard dressing, topped with the tangy crunch of dill pickles and the sweetness of apple. The result? A balanced, nutritious, and full-of-character dish that proves the Thermomix isn’t just for cooking—it’s also for creating unforgettable salads.

How to Make This Salad Step by Step (Without Losing Your Mind)

Ingredients: The Key to Success

To ensure perfection, you’ll need:

• 300g carrots (peeled and chopped)

• 200g parsnips (for a sweet, earthy touch)

• 100g celeriac (for a crisp contrast)

• 430g potatoes (the perfect base)

• 4 eggs (for protein and creaminess)

• 70g leek (white part only, for mildness)

• 250g dill pickles (the tangy kick)

• 180g apple (Fuji or Pink Lady work best)

• 220g green peas (frozen or fresh, as preferred)

For the dressing:

• 280-300g mayonnaise (homemade if you’re ambitious)

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (essential for depth)

• Black pepper and salt to taste

• Fresh parsley (for garnish and freshness)

The Process: Let the Thermomix Do the Work

1. Chop and steam the veggies: Start by blitzing the carrots, parsnips, and celeriac in the mixing bowl (5 sec/speed 5). Repeat with the potatoes (9 sec/speed 4). Transfer to the Varoma and steam with the eggs (14 min/Varoma/speed 1).

2. Cool and mix: Let the veggies cool (patience!). Chop the leek, pickles, and apple (4 sec/speed 5) and combine in a large bowl with the chopped eggs, potatoes, and peas.

3. The magic dressing: Blend the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper (3 sec/speed 5) and fold into the salad. Mix gently for even coating.

4. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
