- Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth, adding a little cold water if required.

Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Dry washed vegetables thoroughly; extra water will dilute the dressing and make the salad soggy.
- Drain cooked grains or beans well and cool them appropriately before combining with fresh ingredients for a cold salad.
- Add dressing gradually, toss gently and taste. Add crunchy toppings just before serving.
Tip
Adjust seasonings to taste and check ingredients are fully cooked before serving.
