quick and easy chopped broccoli salad

One of my favourite salads to make in the Thermomix is a broccoli salad from the Thermomix Recipe Community. Broccoli, apple and capsicum with a honey, mustard and vinegar dressing. It is the easiest thing to pop all the ingredients into the TM bowl and let the machine do the work. Over the years I have added to the recipe and made a few changes.

While I am sure you can chop all the ingredients by hand it is much easier and time effective to pop the majority into a food processor and let the machine chop for you.
