Thermomix Salmon Potato Salad
Potato salad is the perfect summer side dish. Adding flakes of wood smoked salmon, capers & dill will make this salad an extra special side or main meal option.
This Thermomix Salmon Potato salad is one of my “go to” recipes for the Christmas and New Years season. The salmon makes it a little bit more special than your average potato which fits in nicely with the summer festivities.
Making this dish in the Thermomix is so much easier than having multiple saucepans boiling on the stovetop, however, if you don’t have a Thermomix you could always make it the old fashioned way and just give it revamp using the recipe provided.

- By stacking the Thermomix with eggs for boiling and the Varoma with potato and sweet potato all the cooking for this dish is completed in 22 minutes.
