This video is so inspiring. I've watched it probably 100 times over the course of 2-3 years every time I look at my diet and realize I should be eating way healthier than I am. I always come back to this one to reinspire myself :')
I don't know where you went, but I hope you are still reading comments! I found this video and started making this a month ago. I eat it every day for lunch. I make up a big one every Sunday and it lasts me 5-6 days. It has been the best thing I have found that I stick to and look forward to every day. I've even tried other dressings and none of them can match this one. I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!
I put a folded paper towel on top of my prepared salad and then I burp the lid to get the air out. My salad is crispy and fresh for four days.
Adding a paper towel has helped us so much to keep greens fresh longer so I don’t have to go to the store as often.
I do the same thing
That's a great idea
And I compost the paper towel. :)
I do the paper towel on top! It works great!
I need to get back to a big salad every day. I’m vegan but I’ve gained weight eating too much junk during Covid. Thanks for this. Inspired. ❤️🌱❤️
Me2, adding a huge salad to my day has given me control over my weight for the first time in my life.
I've been doing big salads for lunch and I've noticed huge difference in my weight and overall body. I feel good and I now crave salad if I dont have one. This recipe will help me and my hubby. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
😎❤️
I’ve gotten the habit of saving the kale stalks for my smoothies. The Vitamix blends them so smooth you’d never know. I never throw them out.
wow I didn't realize that
I give them to our rabbits 🐰🐇
Great idea about the kale stalks!!! I usually slice mine up, tiny and saute them, adding legumes with bits of kale leaves, onion, garlic, etc.
@@bbw1255 wow that sounds so good ! if i wasn't all raw i would try that 🤤
@@jmk1962 Now the guinea pig will have to compete with me for the stalks. 😂
Thank you. I have been vegetarian for over 43 years and never thought about preparing a big container of salad for three days. Terrific idea and video.
Wonderful looks yummy thanks
Serious?
Good tip. Vegan can be so healthy.......or not. I think this will be helpful to many. A big pot of soup every week also works. Freeze half. Soup and salad!
Robin Gallagher soup, vegan chili, pasta sauce!!!
Right 😊👍, because 'vegan' is not a diet. It's a belief. Like catholicism or Buddhism. Nobody eats a catholic diet.
Oreos, sugar, oil and french fries are not made of animal products, but unhealthy.
Whole Food Plant Based is the way to go 😁💜🌈☮
Tip for extra veggies in your meals....I thinly chiffonade (chiffon-ade) kale or spinach or broccoli, beet greens, arugula, parsley, cilantro, red cabbage,etc and mix it into everything! Vegan bbq sandwiches, pasta sauces, lentil loaf, potatoes... literally everything! I avoid Vegan "junk food" that processed. I always do "whole food" cooking. My hubby came up with an idea for us at dinnertime....1/2 of our plates are greens/veg. This works great for us. Dr. Gregor's Cronometer is a perfect way to track a daily macro & micro protein, carb, fats intake, to make sure your meals provide what you need and you can see that fat ratio for omega 3 & 6 fats, to make sure your getting a proper healthy ratio of Omega 3's! I supplement my green drinks with Spirulina and Chlorella, Chia or ground flax too!
I randomly found this video and I thought you were going to eat the whole salad at once 😂
Same here XD
Me too! After seeing the portions of some of the HCLF You tubers, I figured it was possible.
I think Michael Arnstein in a video was preparing a huge salad and because apparently any bowl was too small for a fruitarian ultra marathon runner like him he used a bucket😂. I'm under the impression it was all for him at once.
I thought so too. All I kept thinking was how expensive this would be
Cierra, I thought that to, I would go with the smaller tub size as I live on my own as my son has left the nest a year ago.
Made that salad dressing with a couple of changes: I used medjool dates that I soaked in warm water for about 30 minutes, I skipped the garlic powder, and I used the water from soaking the dates instead of of plant milk. SO DELICIOUS!!! Going to try making one big salad instead of five little ones. Your giant bowl of salad looks amazing! Glad I found your channel!
Sounds delish..
Omg. Great ideas. I’m definitely going to try that. Aldis has their dates on sale as of today! Great timing!
Michele A what is medjool dates,is it a type of dates iui r a brand.
fvng lifestyle a type. They’re just usually softer and larger, I’m sure any dates work.;)
@@Beepbopboop19 thank you.I might have used them and didnt even know it.are you vegan
Thanks. This is my first week of going vegan. Wish me luck
ANFONIE B Hi 👋 I just finished my first week and I feel wonderful!
good luck bro!!!
I wish you all the luck. You're on the right track. You'll see how many wonderful choices of food there is for you to eat. Congratulations on going vegan.
@@GutsToCuts Thanks bro I subscribed to ur page for good tips
@@davidgardner1067 thank you so much. I've been praying and it just makes so much sense to do so!
That looks so good!! I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat tons of vegetables. I think that chopping up all of those colorful veggies is good for your mental health as well as your physical health. Eating this way is an act of love for yourself and the planet! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Geez, it must be working, she looks so healthy and naturally beautiful.
It's true that a salad without legumes doesn't taste complete. I also like to add Craisins to my salad and my kids like chopped pieces of apples. Good stuff
I've done this and it is a game changer, the beans are what make it for me. I make a caesar salad dressing with half cashews and half hemp hearts.
I followed a veggie/vegan diet for about a year when I was a teenager but didn't find it to be sustainable for my lifestyle. I did however watch many documentaries and educate myself. Even my mother read Eat to Live and we watched the Forks Over Knives documentary together and to this day, some of my fave recipes are from the FOK cookbook. Now married with my own kitchen, I am really inspired to eat plant based meals for myself. This video just brought up all these memories and so much inspiration! This salad looks SO DELICIOUS I am going to buy all of the ingredients for it tomorrow and make this as my lunch for the next week. Thank you for sharing!
AWESOME combo! Love the colors! i added salt and pepper to the dressing, plus lightly seasoned the chopped veg with salt and pepper as I layered them in my bowl. I kept the kale separate so I could massage dressing in beforehand to tenderize it, then mixed with veg and served topped with avocado and some roasted yam cubes I had leftover. Might do a chipotle lime version of the dressing next. Thanks for the salad inspo!
I’ve been vegan for over four years before that, a vegetarian. For me been a vegan is a way of life.
It has been a while since I checked in on this video. This has always been one of my most favorite sites to go to. It is so well done and based on the science. I know this took a lot of effort on your part. Thank you for all the time you have given to better us all. Absolutely the very best.
I first read Eat To Live back in 2004 just after it was first published, and it changed everything. I read the China Study about the same time. Your salad approach is pretty much just like mine. Huge salads with myriad ingredients.
Made this last Friday - all gone by Sunday. Even my 13 and 15 year old daughters grabbed some. The colours are a big drawcard, and having it ready made also helps. Thanks
Teach the kids to make it as well hint hint lol
I'm finding a lot of vegans lately, and I am loving it
I took your advice with this video. This has been really great and made it convenient for me to eat healthy. I don’t use microwaves so when I’m hungry and I don’t feel like cooking I tend to eat a lot more nuts than I should- or other things I shouldn’t eat too much of. This way- when I’m hungry I can have this salad as a quick meal or use it as a side. Game changer. Had to come back and tell you how much I appreciate it!
This video was a Godsend for me today. My doctor told me I have to get healthier due to my diabetes and I had been considering vegan and this salad looks just the right thing to get me started on my journey. Thanks for doing this video. Loved it.
This video is the only youtube video that actually helped me make and eat salad...this is the only video a beginner needs!! Thankyou garbanzo girl!!
just finished my 2nd week of eating vegan and this looks awesome to me . i was living on Greek salads with grilled chicken on them for years. Now I've switched out the chicken for all kinds of legumes , but the dressing has always been a tough area for me . this looks delish , so thank you!!!
I’ve made salads like this and have eaten one every day for at least 15 years. I’m about to turn 50 and feel fabulous and am fit. If I miss my salad I can tell!
I looked for that huge container everywhere. I finally found it (Rubbermaid 2.5 gallon). Thank you for this video it has inspired a lot of ideas .
Thank you! I was wondering
Did this meal prep last week and this is honestly the best salad meal prep I’ve ever had. Thank you for sharing this!
This salad looks amazing. I'd definitely add an avocado each day.
YES
Agreed. Or you could make the salad dressing from avocados instead of tahini
This video saved my life, I got his book and Its been a lil over a week and I see I have lost some weight and learnin so much from YOU Dr.F and the whole food plant based community. I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH, but thats just not enough. Plz know you made a difference and continue making a difference. Im not a hugger at all but heres a BIG salad hug to you!!!!
Love your process of mixing one massive container of salad for several days. This is the best prep idea I’ve seen ! Thank you !
I'm on the second week of doing your salad prep, with that incredible dressing recipe!
today I wanted to let you know I changed it up by adding some strips of crispy tofu and about 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil.
It was really delicious !
The best salad dressing recipe ever !
Im a plant based vegan 8 years. Love your idea of making the salad in advance.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been plant based for nearly 5 years but have been relying on frozen veg burgers for meals. This video gave me a kick in the backside to get eating salads. 3 weeks in and I have definitely lost a few pounds but more importantly my brain fog is gone! Concentrating during work is much easier. I have started the DHA supplement too and am reading Dr Fuhrmans book for children. You are amazing! Lisa, Kildare, Ireland
Bravo! This Vegan veteran adds the cucumbers and tomatoes just before serving as they make the salad too watery and it spoils fast. I also line the bottom with paper towels to soak up the moisture which facilitates rotting. I keep the leafy greens separate and put all the chopped veggies in separate paper lined containers. Everything last longer this way. Then, if I want to make a wrap or Vietnamese salad rolls all I have to do is lay out my ingredients "Subway style" and create the perfect roll, wrap or salad. Edamame is an awesome source of protein too. Affordable sunflower seeds make great replacements for nuts in dressings. Love hemp seeds. Sprinkle on top.
And pepitas make a wicked pesto base. Make pesto from any leafy green and edamame, green peas, etc.
Brilliant!
I have been eating a big salad similar to yours for several years now every day for lunch. I like raw beats, broccoli, onions, mixed nuts, flax seeds, and sometimes olives. So good!
What do you use as dressing?
Google User I buy Lighthouse dressing. The two flavors I use are Sesame Ginger or Pomegranate Blueberry. I like them because they have very little oil. 25 or 40 calories per serving (2 tablespoons). Easy!
@@robertturner1308 Thank you! I'll try them.
Omigosh, raw shredded beets! Yum
I like to shred in carrots too.
Acorn squash even.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah raw squash? I grated butternut squash raw yesterday and added walnuts, chopped olives, broccolini, jicama, lime juice, and a creamy dressing like in the video... very good!Raw squash is very nutritious..beta carotene..
I just found your channel, lucky me! Vegan here for 2 years and scrambling to get organized. I’ve been following the plant based doctors which has helped, but striving to be a meal prepper because vegan processed food is way too easy and convenient, and was not my intention going in. I was initially going for more nutritarian but at times it’s just overwhelming. And then I feel like yuck lol. Putting it into practice is what I need to commit to. Thank you for your very practical how-to videos, and sharing what you’ve learned, it’s definitely got me inspired!
Great idea. I don't think I would ever get tired of this type of salad. Thank you for your work!
Thank you for your video!! Just wanted to add a little tip when cleaning Kale. Grab the stem and then pull the leaf part fo the plant from the bottom to the top off of the stem. It will come off in one quick swipe! SO easy and so much faster!
This inspired me like crazy, I am definately prepping my salad for the week tomorrow!
Omg. Made this dressing today, so delicious!! Thanks so much for the recipe and inspiration!
This video came up as a suggestion by CZcams and I couldn’t be happier! What a wonderfully upbeat video. Your vibe is excellent and I appreciate your suggestions. New subscriber here! Thank you!
This might be tmi but the nurse in me is screammmmming to say how lovely your stool and digestive system is if you eat this literally everyday 🤣 it looks so good I’m deffo gonna try
🤣🤣😂😂 You are so right...
Alice Plamedie lol well nurse Alice, I doubt that you’d want to see my stool the way my tummy is rumbling Lmaoo
Cooked greens, daily, will do this too.
😂 right!
Life and death begin in the gut! 💩💩😱
This was super helpful and exactly what I’ve been looking for.
i really want to thank you for making this video... i always get looks and weird questions to why I eat huge salads every day. i felt so alone, but knowing that there are others that vibe with my salad game make me feel so much better! you literally preach me! thank you!
This is one of the most inspiring videos I've seen. The colours just shout eat me and good health. Thank you.
Best salad I’ve ever seen 😍. Gonna start making it for the hubby and I. Hoping kids will jump on board too.
I made the dressing today and it is amazing!! I thought that was a lot of garlic and dill but it’s perfect! Thank you!
Same here! I’ve been vegan for 6 years but I’ve just now started to include large salads, raw oats and smoothies into my day to day! You are right...it helps! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for making this video! It’s already been a huge help! 👍🏼
This was great!! Thanks for making and looking forward to your next vid! :)
You are on the right track! Since eating a large amount of kale I feel so alive! I’ve been down this road before and it’s always the same! 😍 🥬
Nutritional yeast! That stuff is awesome. Nooch tastes great and goes with almost anything. Great video.
FYI - I try to avoid all food toxins. Corn and peanuts also. blog.daveasprey.com/nutritional-yeast/
More videos like this! When we are beginning a healthier way of eating it's hard to come up with ideas on what to eat. Yours are simple and no to many ingredients. Loved it!
Your before and after photos are amazing! Well done for getting healthy. Great video.
I too love a busy salad! My sister, who isn't a fan of salads started enjoying them once I prepared large batches.Nutritional yeast wasa genius touch, but I ad tomatoes as i plate the salad 'cause the refrigerator ruins the flavor of a fresh 🍅
Dear Garbanzo Girl!!
Thank you so much for doing this video!! I just bought the book (Eat to Live) and have not really started because -- #1 haven't read the entire book yet, #2 also kind of overwhelmed!! Thank you for making it seem reachable!! You are an inspiration!! I am signed up for your station!! Mahalo!! 😃
This salad rocks the house down!!! The dressing is so delicious. Love it!!! Thank you.
Thank you! Loved the idea of making a massive big salad ahead, will give it a go, I can feel it will be a game-changer for me 🙂 and love-love-love the quick salad dressing recipe. 👍
I'm so glad this video showed up suggested! Love your beautiful salad, I will be doing this now so I can have salad everyday. Subscribed! I'm inspired to do better on my whole food plant based journey!! Prepping ahead is definitely key to success for me. Thanks!!
I am sitting here having my big salad while watching this. That dressing looks really good. I am going to have to try it. Thanks!
I'm definitely going to eat more salad from now on. So thankful for this precious info and for being an inspiration. Lotta love!
I'm a new subscriber.
Thank you for the recipe in the description & a clear, concise video without rambling on to extend the video which is why I'd like to see more of your cobtent. 💞
Looking forward to trying this. Thank you for sharing! ~Blessings~
great dressing recipe I'm sure I will enjoy, thank you
Yum! and look at that fruit bowl, wow! ❤
This is so helpful - thank you for sharing your tip on the salad. Love this!
I went out and bought everything I didn't already have for this salad & dressing earlier today, and am going to be eating this salad all next week while I'm in school! New sub
And, did you? :D
@@KentuckyChicken2 Yes! It was amazing!!
This looksnfantastic...I’ll be making this this very soon! Ty ❤️🌱🌱🌱
I can’t stop watching this video, just love it! I’m food shopping today and all these ingredients are top of my list. Thank you!!!
Love to see your videos!! such an inspiration... :-)
The idea of a big salad for 3 days - excellent! I'll try it!
That salad looks like that'll fill you up for a few hours!!! I'm making that tomorrow ! 😋
A book you should buy is Dr Greger’s cook book How Not To Die. He’ll tell you that oils, deep fried foods, salt and sugar are bad, and for the reasons vegan can die from a heart attack. My favorite off his book is the ranch dressing and the no baked dates walnut treats. Mmmm.
Dr Klaper is another man I trust.
Make sure you eat the whole banana as long as the peel have black spots, and wash them. Make sure you eat the whole strawberry and kiwi. The whole Lemon, lime and oranges. Even their seeds. You can. Its up to you.
This is exactly what I needed for inspiration! Thank you for making a great, right to the point video!
I love this idea! I’m gonna start incorporating this into my diet. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love how you picked and cut up your own vegetables I going to do a complete overhaul of my diet my birthday is in two weeks and I want to be healthier been watching alot of videos getting recepies and ideas
OMG looks so good thanks for sharing
This looks so good, Im going to make it, and I’m drawn to the colors. Thank you.
This looks fantastic, I am so motivated to prep now!
That salad is drool-worthy!!! ❤❤❤ I"m getting my online shopping list ready and I'm getting the ingredients to make that delicious looking salad...thanks so much for sharing! New sub! ❤
@@MzHannah36 I've made this salad three times so far. It's so versatile! ❤️ I can use it as a base for a Mexican fiesta salad with added avocado, salsa and taco seasonings, or as an Asian salad with homemade peanut sauce. I've even used some of the salad as a topping for black bean burgers w/ketchup and mustard. It's crazy how delicious this salad is! 👍🏾👍🏾
Wow, you lost alot of weight...Thank you so much for sharing; I will sub, and I am definitely looking forward all the more dishes. I am going to try this out!
Thank you for sharing! This salad looks so delicious!
I'm in love with that huge salad! Nice! I'll have to try that dressing some time :)
Doap!!! I'm going to totally use this. I'm gonna add some dulse flakes for iodine, plus, some apples or mangoes ✌🏾
Great Video will try
Stellar job. Great to hear from someone else enjoying this lifestyle and making it theirs.
I love this video, i keep coming back to it for inspiration and the dressing recipe!! Thank you
This is an awesome salad I’m gonna try this. I misplaced my bowl like that
God I want to eat more like this I've just been on this downward spiral of eating bad😞 gotta somehow find the strength. Thank you for the tips.
I hear ya! I'm going to start, even in small steps, hope you do too ☺
Me too😩
You can do it!!!!❤
Linda Nelson I’ve been exactly the same....I can’t seem to start I. Just falling down this fat hole 😥
@@GypsyinAus it sucks.
This is awesome! This is the first video of yours I've seen, so helpful, so inspiring and omg that's SUCH a pretty salad!❤ I'll be making this Monday!
The best change I made to my Vegan diet.. Thank you you so much, love the big salad 💚
nutrabullet works the best for smoothies, salad dressings, etc. easiest to clean. I also have a vita prep blender but now use my nutra bullet.
Danielle Russell I live for my nutrabullet. Especially for a guy who doesn’t love salads, somehow liquefying them makes it easier to swallow and delicious
Love a great salad. I only use orange squeezins on my salad, and occasionally some good vinegar. I never got used to eating anything milky on a salad, but the orange works. Lately, I just incorporate it all in a one dish meal. Thanks for showing us how you do it. Inspiring.
You can substitute some fresh-squeezed orange juice for the plant milk in this dressing. Years ago, the Lemon-Tahini dressing served by the Golden Temple juice bars contained some lemon, but the majority of the liquid was actually orange juice!🤓
Awesome, just what I been looking for! Thank you Garbanzo Girl :D
I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!!!!! I AM GOING TO DO THIS...so excited
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, definitely gonna start prepping monster salads for the week.
This is MY first week going vegan. Wish me luck!
Love it~ YOU rock! Love the salad-I do similar and juice about 5 days a week. CanNOT go wrong living this way. All the best.
That salad absolutely makes my mouth water just looking at it ... amazing, thanks for sharing ... the dressing looks delicious too ... Steve UK thanks 🙏 😊 🐝
