The end of spring in Melbourne has been scorchingly hot. Which I am absolutely relishing. I love both the warmth and the complete transformation of our meals into the wonderful world of salads. We’ve had this one twice since I first threw it together a week ago, the second time with the addition of some sliced har boiled eggs. Either way, it’s a complete meal and thoroughly enjoyable. Even the Ankle Biters ate every last little bite.

I steamed the vegetables in the thermomix and will include instructions accordingly. If you are not a thermomix user, just lightly steam the vegetables over the stove top as you usually would.
