This is for the Food Processor Attachment only
Ingredients
- 2 (660 g) English cucumbers
- 1 ½ cups (295 g) frozen sweet peas, thawed
- 1 cup (185 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 12 fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
- 5 fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 cup (240 ml) "Fresh Greens" Goddess Dressing
- pinch sea salt, optional
- 5 cups (125 g) baby kale [or other hearty green]
Directions
- Fit the Food Processor with the Thick Slicing Disc.
- Start the processor and, using the Food Pusher, feed the Cucumbers through the Small Food Chute opening. Use the Pusher to gently push the cucumbers through until all are processed.
- Remove the sliced cucumbers to a bowl, add the sweet peas, cherry tomatoes, mint, and basil leaves, Greens Goddess Dressing, and salt, if desired. Toss gently to incorporate.
- To plate, place the kale, greens or whatever hearty green you would like into the bottom of the bowl. Gently spread the cucumber mix around the outer edge of the salad. Refrigerate and hold until you are ready to serve.
Chef's Notes
- This salad is a great example of the versatility of the Ascent blender base.The salad dressing comes together in a blending container, while the cucumbers can be sliced in the Food Processor Attachment - it's a wonderful salad accompanied by the best the season has to offer.
