  • One of my favorite items on the menu of my happy place, @joicafe, is Joi’s amazing caesar salad. I remember the first time I had it-what a REVELATION!! I was like, “whoa. I could actually eat this as a MEAL.” Prior to that time, the thought of eating a meal without rice, a sandwich, or at least a bowl of soup, was slightly cuckoo! Well, I’ve since eaten that caesar salad for MANY meals and was thus inspired to come up with my own, at home version and it was THE BOMB DOT COM (sorry, kids, for dragging that parlance out of the trash bin, but it is so appropriate). Recipe below and I’ll be adding it to the #tkvmealplanner!
    .
    1 3/4 cups cooked chickpeas, drained
    1/2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
    1 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp cayenne
    1 to 2 tsps garlic powder
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
    1 cup ribboned lacinato kale
    1/4 cup diced red onion
    1/4 cup chopped celery
    2 tbsp chopped walnuts
    2 tbsp cashew cream (or hummus)
    1 tbsp garlic confit (or 1 clove garlic)
    1/2 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp soy sauce
    1 tsp plus 1 tbsp furikake
    1 to 2 tbsps water
    1 tsp grated vegan cheese
    handful of croutons
    .
    Mix the chickpeas together with 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and EVOO. Place in air fryer at 400°F for 15 minutes. In the meantime, add lettuce, kale, red onion, celery, and walnuts into a large bowl. Blend together cashew cream, garlic, more onion powder, more soy sauce, and 1 tsp furikake, together with a little water, for dressing. Add roasted chickpeas to salad bowl, followed by dressing, more furikake, vegan cheese, and croutons.

    I totally agree, I get really sad when people say they hate salads, and I always just think "you just haven't had a good salad" and when I ask him to describe, they are describing some sad iceberg lettuce with some ranch, and it makes me sad. But I think I also might be cocky because my salads are amazing lol

      Honestly, I eat iceberg letticue like watermelon. It's just sweet, wet and not much else. I could get through a bag of the stuff whilst watching a movie, but I would not recommend it as salad. It's like poor person watermelon for when your too lazy to cut up the cucumber and sprinkle sugar onto it, but with a more satisfying crunch.
      Iceberg letticue is just best eaten as is, not as part of a salad.

    I can't say enough how relatable your content is. Salad was NEVER a thing I ate or saw in anyone's home growing up. It was fancy, boring, restaurant food...or insufferable diet food. Lol. But yes, it needed layers. When you add those familiar flavors to your salad it makes allllll the difference.

    i used to hate salads (as any 4 year old does), but my grandma made me love them. first of all, mom always has store-bought dressing (which is fair, i do that too, but it all kinda tastes the same), and she usually just had the lettuce, some corn and dressing. but my grandma makes her dressing herself (and omg it's the best dressing ever. this is actually my reminder to ask her about it one of these days) and she always added salted peanuts and small apple pieces to the salad with corn. i think i started liking it there and now i love even the most boring of salads.

    Same. Never enjoyed salads, until I started making them for myself.
    The carrots were always too big, so I'd cut them a bit thinner, I'd add fruit, and I love raw radish/cauliflower. I love cabbage and I love walnuts.
    I make my homemade salad dressing because the ones we buy is either too sour or too sweet or bland and it's just the best. I love and crave a nice chilled salad on a hot sunny day.
    Like I didn't know I was such a veggie girl until I started cooking. My family usually cooks a lot of non veg, but ever since I've started cooking, I feel in love with vegetarian food and managed to share my love with my family. If seasoned/cooked right any food would become delicious.
    We aren't vegetarians but I definitely have helped changed our diet successfully into a more veggie friendly diet. Everyone feels tons better and lighter and they are all content with how things are.

I’ve gained 60 pounds the last 3 years and if i keep on the way I have been, I’ll be another 40 pounds heavier by next year. I understand weightloss is basically eat less and move more but when you’re addicted to food it’s not that easy.

    Eating a salad is like a bandwagon, once you get on. You’ll soon realize, you’ll never get off. For me, I have to eat salads regularly and when I do, my body becomes a custom to it. Then I start craving them and it’s almost as if I need to be eating salads!!!! Then it becomes my food of choice and it’s great. Salads are magical and I used to hate them as a kid. Give salads a chance, if you try a salad you don’t like, that just means you don’t like that salad. It doesn’t mean all salads are bad.

    Tho, I did grow up with a mum who loves making good salads.
