    Thanks, Matt.  I tasted your delicious salad at a friend's house this evening and will certainly be recommending it to my Thermomix customers.  The pomegranates made it so attractive - perfect for a summer meal!

    Love the combo. With the florets, I find better texture when they are broken up with Reverse. Less mushy.

  • Made this last night to have

    Submitted by BrissieGirl on 10. January 2014 - 22:10.

    Made this last night to have with some leftover BBQ lamb. I only used half a medium cauliflower and about 2/3 amount of dressing and there was masses - enough for dinner & lunch for the two of us, and we are big eaters. It was delicious but not very pretty. The herbs blended in the dressing made it a sludgy colour. We thought the flavour was nicer the next day, so next time I'll make it ahead but only stir through the herbs and pomegranate arials just before serving to preserve the fresh colours.
