I made a salad for my family using the cashew dressing. They all said, ‘this is the best salad I’ve ever had in my life.’
nice
@@quartzshine2828 luckily they don’t….
@@wonderwoman5528they don't what?
@@purllow someone must have deleted their reply. I can’t remember what I was responding to
I loved how you split the screen for showcasing how you made the three sauces step by step! So inspirational and super easy to understand! Amazingly done!
i must have a learning disability or something because that was the moment I stopped watching. it was confusing and hard to follow.
Agree 100%! I wish I could do that! It makes for a perfect comparison of the different dressings!
@@aeonjoey3d I have a couple/a few of suggestions that might help. First, you know you can go back just a little bit to review it. Reviewing the part just BEFORE the three section may help -> because there might have been something you missed or didn't understand.
When that happens whatever follows gets confusing
Second suggestion you watch it twice. You can either watch it all the way here even though you're confused and then watch it again, or you can stop it and go back as soon as you get some confused. I've done both at different times. If think maybe it'll all come together I just listen onward. Or else I think wait I miss something I'm going to go back.
A third suggestion is to change the speed of the video. On mobile android the playback speed shows when you tap on the 3 dots. That brings up what they call a sub-menu. On a pc or mac you click on the "youtube screen" and the controls appear. The gear wheel means Settings. Click on that to see the sub-menu. You can pick a slower soeed. Just try it.
Ironically, sometimes a faster speed helps me understand better or to skim it. Sometimes I put on captions, even though I am a flu3 t native soeaker. Go figure.
My point is, he does wht he does and if you had to watch it 3 times, then so what? It is the same as him doing all 3 one after another... Or is it? You decide.
PS thanks for your comment. My longish reply is not just for you alone. 👉😛😆 👀 😎 This could be read by many. And as "Chef John" would say... ENJOY!
💯 💯 💯 ❣❣❣❣
*Yes, great* production and editing.
@@aeonjoey3d click on 'show more' above comments, then click on website above 'show less' ingredient lists & recipes for dressings are shown there.
A great timesaver is pickled vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, olives, radish, onions). They add acidity and texture and you can just add small portions as you go along the week. The key is to make salads easy and fun
Pickled stuff is awesome for salads! Esp onions!
I agree, I’d also add turnips to that great list of pickled veggies
Pickles aren't healthy for your gut.
@@jennyukoh7462 fermented pickles are very gut healthy - probiotic awesomeness
Try some cowboy candy aka jalapeño pickled with sugar. Amazing !!
I really like these skill-based videos. Instead of just relying on a recipe and then having surplus ingredients going to waste, these videos teach us how to get creative in the kitchen !
If you want to copy the lists to save, here they are!
Homemade Salad Dressing:
1. Base Flavor
2. Aromatics
3. Sweet and Spicy
4. Acid
5. Oil
6. Adjustments
(Good) Salad Elements:
1. Base Greens
2. Fresh Veggies
3. Nuts, Seeds, Dried Fruit
4. Grains
5. Cheese/Creamy
6. Protein
7. Dressing
Thanks a lot!
thank you for this list, much appreciated
Thanks 😊
@@james_thegirl Oh yeah, since I'm not American, I would be grateful of a recipe for coleslaw.
Thank you, that helps! Looking forward to start eating salads again!
I want to tell you that you changed the life of my family. We now eat a thousand times more salads than before. (almost everyday!) I always have a prep of salad(you show that in another video) in the fridge and I can arrange in almost seconds very impressives salads! Thank you so much, I don't know how to tell you the difference it makes. It so much healthier and also easier for me.
I would consider adding pickled veggies too [carrot, onion, cabbage shreds, turnip, radish].
What’s the “prep of salad”??
After you soak/agitate your greens, LIFT them out of the water and place them in the strainer, then spin.
You poured the “dirty” water on top of the greens when you put them in the strainer before spinning.
I thought that too. Usually I hand pick or use tongs to remove the leaves into the spinner so all the dirt stays at the bottom of the water bowl
Glad i wasnt the only one who thought that lol
I’ve found that soaking your greens a few minutes in a few tsp. baking soda (rinse off) really wakes up any older greens and also extends the life of even the freshest greens. Thanks for this great video!
This is a really good idea, thanks bro
Thanks for sharing, I've completely forgotten about this neat trick my grandma told me eons ago.
My grandmother said salt (or baking soda) will make any bugs let go of the greens!
A quick rinse in warm water will restore wilted greens...
Thank you
Top Tip: An easy way to dress your salad completely is to put it in a sealable container like a tupperware. Just before you eat, drizzle in your dressing, close, and shake. It's super easy and gentle on your ingredients, and it coats everything really evenly.
Your production value is always TOP notch. Respect the hell out of your channel, and your education. Love watching these.
I feel like I grew up with you guys. I used to binge your videos as a college student and ate a lot of good food thanks to y’all, and now I found your channel again as an adult. So glad to see you’re still making amazing, healthy, and accessible food!
I’ve never seems someone explain salads like this! I absolutely love that you gave so many examples, it helps so much!
This is Keanu Reeves On Here Reaching Out To My Fans Worldwide..Thanking them for the Love and Support And how You Are Coping With The Pandemic And Disasters ...Hope You're doing safe?
You have the BEST audience. Thanks everybody for your comments and ideas. I don't know about others but I spend just as much time watching the videos as I do reading your comments and learning extra ideas and tips from YOU. Thank you all. It's really fun when the audience is so passionate and engaged. Together we can really learn a lot from each other. Keep sharing. I totally appreciate it.
czcams.com/video/GliIt_eWCrY/video.html
Really nailed the cooking show vibe on this one. Good examples, good flow, and engaging cinematography. Great job man.
This is the EXACT video I’ve been looking for. I love salad dressings and salad but have run out of ideas and this video has no spurred me on to create new exciting dishes with a combination of texture, flavour, and different food groups. I love how you incorporate preparation like the washing and drying of the leaves (I never knew you could eat cavolo Nero raw. I also love those containers you used for the salad dressings which would last a good couple of days in the fridge. I think a salad, when done right, can fill you up all day with the amount of fibre and the long time it takes to eat. Will have to add this video to favourites. Thanks again! :)
One of my favorite protein additions to salad is cubes of tofu: water pressed out, tossed in nutritional yeast mixed with 21 Seasoning Salute and red pepper flakes, then fried in a little oil until they’re slightly crisp. Yummy on salad or just snacked on.
You can add salt or vinnegar to the water when washing your greens. This will help to detach the bugs in them.
Mike, you are doing exactly what you are meant to do in Life! Your passion for cooking comes out in every aspect of your videos. Wow, I am so impressed!!! I have watched every video and have never seen anything like your videos. So much solid value and pertinent information presented is such an interesting and logical way. Just, the Best of the Best I have ever seen!!!! You doing this solo was a Great Decision!!!!! Your abilities are way beyond!!!!!!! Keep doing your thing we are all loving it!!!!!!
I have watched a ton of recipes on CZcams...and I've loved (and eaten salads) since I was a kid. In my opinion, this video is the pinnacle in terms of how to construct a salad. I look forward to implementing all I've learned in tomorrow's lunch.
As someone who also loves salad and is a queen of salads, I love this video for the sake if spreading the salad religion to others. Bc salads really are only ass good as your ingredients
Literally, I mean literally yesterday I told my husband: I wanna be healthier, but I´m so bored of my salads jajaja.. thank youuuuu!!
Don't you mean jusband
I like a base of baby spinach. One favorite, spinach with mandarin oranges, cottage cheese and sunflower seeds. The cottage cheese and orange juice blend to make a dressing.
That sounds like something I d love to try. Screen shot taken for easy buying. Thanks!!
His presentation game has stepped up. I like his new flow an professionalism.
I love the idea of using what you have. Cooking is all about improvisation and getting creative
I love how you break down the recipes so well that I can literally make some version of a not-sucky salad right now if I wanted to
I can make that miso dressing right now.I have everything for that one in my kitchen, damn that's never happened to me.
Anusuya Nallathambi how did it turn out?
Love when that happens it also means you got some goodness in the kitchen
weebs gonna be like:
Best video I've ever seen on explaining different types of salad dressing! Thank you so much!!
Say I got to say this... I watch & learn from a lot of cooks & chefs... You teaching on how you explain things are 2nd to none... Man I can listen & learn from you all day long... I truly appreciate it! ✌🏿✌🏿🤙🏿🤘🏾🙏
Yes!
Iv been watching you since you started out from rookie to pro, it's incredible how much you have upped your cooking game and developed your skills. Thanks for the inspiration! Keep rocking !!
Great presentation! Love it!
I don't care for oil-based salad dressings. So another option is to use beans (cannellini or any white bean) blended until smooth. You can use the liquid in the can for thinning. If you're trying to replace olive oil flavor, you can put a couple of whole olives into the blend mix to create the olive taste. Did you know that it takes about 44 olives to make 1 Tbs of olive oil? So you can still use all of these great ideas in this video and have a lower calorie salad dressing if that's helpful to your life.
Thanks for these GREAT ideas!
Good to know!
Love the breakdown to basic elements. Will definitely try those recipes, I'm really excited about the cilantro cashew lime one!
Now if only they didn't charge me almost as much as a steak for a salad at a restaurant.
That's so true... I sometimes don't order the salads because they're too expensive for what they are...
But you’re paying for the chef’s time and the general restaurant experience
@@anonimushbosh but you have to consider what it's made of and how expensive it is.
@@SchreiRulesYouKnow They do. That’s part of the cost but chefs don’t pay less rent the days they pore their creative expertise over your salad.
@@anonimushbosh I think you're not understanding the complain here xD. If you want everyone to earn good money, rise all the prices. A salad doesn't take more time or money to make than a steak, and a lot of places make them the same price as other dishes with more expensive ingredients.
Love the way you break things down, and at a good speed. Pleasure to listen to you.
THAT is the type of salad I can agree on.
There's a reason why the "go-with" salads in restaurants and German households always looked sterile to me, because they are always "cucumber, tomato, lettuce, done", while Russian salads are basically the entire meal cut into pieces and mixed with a sauce, awesome!
My mother was German descent. We NEVER had salad at home, really. Now trying to discover them.
This is a pro level. Salad 1 was mindblowing.
U made it?
salads are saving me during this diet, you have saved me even more
I just had a very disappointing diet meal with salad, while in quarantine. I can't even describe how fast I clicked in this video 😂 I feel your pain.
found a jojo fan
Hands down the best cooking channel on CZcams.Your the best cook ever!!!!
I love making marinated bulgogi salad bowls for lunch! After marinating the beef strips, I use the extra marinade to create some sauce. I'll add lettuce, red cabbage, edamame, and pickled daikon and carrot matchsticks. You can make the sauce/marinade as spicy or sweet as you like by grating in fresh Korean pear or apple. or adding extra gochugaru. Def recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a new recipe to mix up your meals!
Omg, I have some leftover Bulgogi sauce in my fridge and some leftover frozen marinated bulgogi in my freezer that is definitely getting thawed this week! How inspired. I love this idea!
Fantastic guide!! Incredibly helpful.
you deserve more subs
The dedication is on point!! Thanks for helping with my uni dorm life man
I love your approach of breaking down to it’s elements!
Love your split screens. Thanks for the inspo.
I love this video!!! I have been making my own dressing for years, but it’s wonderful to learn how to make something new and fresh. Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏾♥️
You are an excellent teacher/ instructor for showing people how to learn to cook food. I do believe you are educating many people that cooking your own food is much better and tastier. I really appreciate your Channel. Respect from 🇨🇦💕
what are your favorite ways to make salads less sucky?
Making whatever you make lol
A metric tonne of feta cheese
Pumpkin seed oil. It's delicious and adds a lovely green colour.
Nuts and seeds, love them on my salad.
Pickled red onions.
These look amazing, thanks for breaking it down into a formula! Makes it easier
Amazing video! Love the breakdown of salad prep in 3 different frames!
I made your miso dressing and it changed the way I look at salad! I am 11 and am avid cook and your videos help so much. #Prohomecooks
I made the sundried tomato dressing and it was utterly delicious. I'd never have thought of using them as a base, but wow. Totally yummy. Thank you.
Your videos have been consistently such an inspiration for my cooking!! For the past (feels like) 10 years!!! Thank you so so much :-)
Loving your videos. I am really trying to make as much as I can from scratch. I would LOVE a fridge/freezer/pantry tour video.
You're such a gifted teacher, and you can tell that you have a true passion for cooking and helping others become better cooks at home. I've watched you since Brothers Green, and you're still one of my favorite cooks online. I know so many people talk about Food Network, etc; but I think the best cooks and cooking channels can be found on CZcams, like yours. You're definitely one of my favorite cooking channels.
I agree with you
I agree too. He is amazing. I watched this video a few times and now how all my salad ingredients washed and ready in the fridge. chicken too. Great videos. AND I watched and made his ramen. Jesus Christ. Amazing.
They all look so wonderful and I just told my husband before I saw this how much I am wanting a good salad! Thanks👍😋😋
Always feel inspired after your videos. Thanks Mike!
As a new student who now has to cook on his own your videos help so much thanks for all the great videos!
Now I already made the second salad following this guide - and both turned out amazing!
Considering the fact, that I'm not a huge salad fan and that I usually want something warm in winter, that's a real game changer. I so love the way you combine free creativitiy and "use up what you have at home" with a guide to have some order and control in the salad bowl, really great!
I only added fresh herbs to the salad step with the fresh veggies.
Please keep those amazing vids coming, they really change the way I cook - and change it to the better! ;-)
Salads are my jam.
Nice job. You always do a great job. And I like your long form explanations.
This is such a good video bro. Truly enjoyed it. Clear, complete, High Quality, variety... man... everything I need to make a bossy salad! Many thanks.
Great Saladas-&-Dressings 'Pro Home Cooks' Also, Your list of 'Salad-Builders' is so valiable. Thank You for Sharing with all of Us!
Super special video because I'm a salad lover...thank you!
Love your work Bud!
Wow I just sat here at my desk (when i should be working) for the past 4 hours watching most of my old and new videos by you and you can really see how you have grown in your style and your confidence which is contagious - thank you ( I started out making SDBread with you and purchase the university package and the kombucha - Hope you do a Rama one as well, you should) Just wanted to tell you thank you I love all these new styles of "Mistakes to avoid or Mistakes (Lessons) for beginners - learning so much. Thank you again.
Wendy's in the 90s made the salad delicious...they had a BLT salad with honey mustard dressing and a blue cheese with cheddar cheese salad..They dont get enough credit for their innovations...they created the dollar menu and the tempura nugget that McDonald's bought/stole from them.
Wendy's really is superior. They have great salads!
this is honestly such a good guide, thanks!
So perfect! Really, really useful!
I have needed this video my whole life. Thank you!!!
Excellent! I'm trying these out. Yumm.
Bleeding love salads. Always have. Loved the bit on making dressing, may have to start trying to make my own.
diverse complex and well balanced and super tasty ..... thank you
I love your stuff dude. Straight up. Whenever I find myself low on inspiration I.come and check it sonething you do and off I go again.
💙💛💜💚❤
Thank you for breaking it down because I was getting tired of the same old salad. Awesome job!
One of the best things I discovered was dry frying chickpeas or garbanzo beans as you call them. Make sure you brown them and they taste amazing in salad.
That list of steps is really new for me. We’ll try making more of our own dressings. Thanks.
Love you, man. You explain yourself very well.
Watched so many of your videos. I’ve gotten more into making everything at home and ferments. Love everything I’ve made so far
I rarely go to the local farmers market for ingredients I know I can get at the grocery store, but when it comes to lettuce, oh boy. Farmers market lettuce is a game changer. So much variety.
excellent: clear, informative, original.
SOO helpful. Thanks!
Brilliant work once again, love your show!
Awesome video! Thank you.
I found this video a couple of months ago, and you really inspired me to make decent salads and dressings, and to find tha flavours that I enjoy the most, and today, for the first time maybe in my life, I actually enjoyed a salad. Thank you for your tips, and keep it up man
I've ever seen on explaining different types of salad dressing! Thank you so much!!
Yum!!! The dressings look amazing!!!
Very thorough, informative, and beautiful presentations. Thank you, Melaney from SoCal
I like your new kitchen. I didn’t realize the videos I have been watching were from years ago. I learned so much from your international cuisines. Thank you. I started watching your show last year when I was into sourdough. You are much more organized now; SMILE
Inspiring! Thank you!
I usually just watch your videos, but this time I felt the need to comment how much I LOVE this video, you’re awesome dude!
Love this video. Glad to see the mix and match lists to use. Also, it's great to see the baby stuff in the background. :)
great video! my favourite cooking channel for sure!
I’m really glad that you still create videos. Been an avid viewer since Brothers Green. And your salad tips here are spot on practical. Cheers!
Some excellent ideas
Bro your content is so fire. Thank you for making these videos
Great dressings!!!! Thank you 🙏
Excellent, Thank you
This is one of the best videos, That inspires to be creative then only recipe base.... Thank you..😅 possibilities with that are limitless ...
Very inspiring! I just made the miso dressing 15 minutes ago, and it’s fantastic.
This was brilliant as always! I loved your use of local ingredients. Also lucky you for having corn in season near you its out of season in my farmers markets already. Its pie season nice! Over 20 varieties of apples!
I Love when he said: I love to make it easy by taking what I already have in my kitchen.
ME: I need to go buy all of that, besides the water xD
Thank you for the video, love it!
Love salads and this is the best way to make them!!😍💗
