I love the Vitamix 750. I feel this is the most essential kitchen appliance to own. Almost any meal can be prepared with the assistance of this high-speed blender. I was even able to make this salad in the Vitamix….. I can’t believe I can make a salad in a blender. The recipe came from the book that comes with the blender. I did not have the scallions or the rice vinegar. Instead, I used red onions and apple cider vinegar.
