eating the rainbow is a solid formula i learned a few years ago and making an effort to add variety makes food more visually appealing for me as well as incorporating contrasting taste profiles
As a main dish it should be nutritious & filling and have lots of different colours & textures and crunch & creaminess! 😋 Fresh, crunchy greens/vegetables and a great dressing are key for any good salad, IMO!
I love my hot/cold salads. Cooked potatoes and a few cooked veggies/lentils/chick peas over any kind of greens drizzled with balsamic glaze, mustard (any kind), Tahini, 1-2 tablespoons of hummus, lime juice.
"What colors have I not had enough of this week. I find it more effective than counting sheep" That is brilliantly a classic my friend!! Great quote! I often think that way all the time. But I never could put it together in words like you just did. It's so true and so smart! Thank you for your great content! You're amazingly special!!
The kale salad was ridiculously delicious! This combination of veggies in a salad aroused my curiosity to try, and since I had just picked some kale from the garden and had every other ingredient, I did ! Yummity yum yum good.
@@faitheloveschrist it’s wonderful! A little bit of love and attention reaps a bountiful harvest😊 greens are especially easy to grow especially in cooler weather. I grew arugula and kale all winter!
Not sure how I came across your videos but I’m so glad I did. I’ve been ovo-vegetarian for almost 11 years now. I was repeating the same recipes for the last two years and getting bored with my food. However your videos have introduced new recipes and it’s so simple and delicious! I feel inspired again to cook so thank you for your content. I really enjoy it and I’m excited to try these salads next!
Love watching your videos. You always make me smile. I am a cook in a small vegan café in California with a regular menu, the only things that change are our hummus and soup. It gets a little boring when I go home and make the same old vegan food for myself...thank you for giving me some great ideas.
Made the taco salad the other day. Wow. That sunflower seed thing is incredible. I found it even tasted better the next day right out of the fridge. And it's very filling without being heavy feeling. I am going to try some of your other recipes. Love your approach, Andrew! Thank you!
I Love salads with Mixed Greens, Arugula, Spinach, Chick Peas, Mini Cucumbers, Red Peppers, Red Onion, Olives, Avocado Oil & Apple cider vinegar and Herb & Garlic Spice. This is a Delicious Salad, you can also put Hard Boiled eggs in it.
Yum, I LOVE me some salad & kale! I just had a big bowl of it yesterday: Kale, arugula, red onions, dried cranberries & tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, a creamy & tangy cashew-based dressing and baked potatoes & sweet potatoes - I make it all the time; it's the best! 😋
I am seriously addicted to your channel. I am very grateful for your creativity. Much respect from Vancouver BC Canada. I watch every morning while drinking my morning tea before work.
I really love these recipes and am hooked on this channel to come up with new vegan ideas. Another tip would be to ditch the store bought taco seasoning and make your own without the extra bs they add to it(smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper) when I discovered this, I stopped buying store bought and you can customize it.
The possibilities for a mouth watering & satisfying salad are endless! Now I'm going to my fridge and pantry to determine what I'm going to have in mine for lunch. Of course, color, color, color! 😊
I really like that taco salad because I would never have thought of using soaked sunflower seeds with seasoning to make a taco meat substitute. Thank you for this video.
Yooooooooo!!!! That kale salad was LIFE!!! Thank you so much for inspiring me to think outside the basic salad box! Day 10 of plant based eating and I’m amazed by all the delicious healthy flavors I’ve been missing out on all these years. I feel FANTASTIC!
I've been eating salads more this year than I ever have. Most of them have been BASIC. This video has some great ideas I plan on trying in my next salad.
I love your teaching, instructions & insights...especially the kale analogy because I love green cabbage but hate kale...I'm trying though...you're just great!!!
I'm here for that taco salad! I have diabetes, and have decided that I want to live long, be strong and healthier, So I'm starting a work week salad a day to lose weight and keep my blood sugar down and eventually get off my medications! Thank you for your recipes! Also, I was raised vegetarian so the sunflower seed meat was outstanding to see, that's a new one for me and I cannot wait to try it! 😊
It’s so precious that you play Barbies with your daughters. I haven’t heard anyone use this expression “play Barbies” except by me and my best friend almost 60 years ago. Thanks for your great recipes, and many thanks for a good memory, although unintentional. 😊
The sunflower seeds... Great source of vitamin E, Copper, Iron, Folate, B1 and B6! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORRRRRRRRRRK! Also... Don't be afraid to throw apple in a salad :)
I hope you will offer a version of vegan West African Stew. It's very savory with unexpected incredients: tomatoes and peanut butter with kale and chunks of sweet potato. I just found the "Make it Dairy Free" channel! 🙋♀ How great! Now I am following that one, too. I love your work. ❤
thank you so much! Im trying to study a few different cuisines to keep things interesting. I hope at some point i can provide something that sounds so incredible!
It makes such a big difference and healthy to eat plant-base. I was told that hard chips are like daggers that can cut through your gut lining, leaving holes in it.
oh shit! As a chef, I'm picturing the flavors and textures of the first salad in my mind and they taste awesome. I think the creaminess of the avocado will blend the crunch and spices from the sweet potato and chickpeas so well with the fresh vibes from the sweet'n'sour'n'light bitterness from the kale. God it looks amazing xD Maybe I would add some cooked red beets after drowning them in lime(zest), roasted black pepper corns and olive oil, for some extra sweet and sour happiness and to give it a bit more of a 2022 inclusive colorscheme 😇 Well done my friend and I can't wait for the rest of the video
Nice! You just took a salad and kicked it up more than a few notches! Thank you for that ☺️ I love your sense of humor, Andrew, you make viewing very pleasant 🙂 I will try your ideas as I absolutely love kale and arugula! Have a lovely week! 😁👍🏻👍🏻
The algorithm sent you to me...and I love your quirky style! I'm subscribing because I was on my stupid treadmill and started chuckling! 😅😅 When I looked up I was already 15 mins into my incline walk! Well done! Very informative with clarity and precise execution!!💪🏾💪🏾
Well, I love pretty much any salad combination - and after a few days of conference catering I was DREAMYING of a salad. It means however, that most of the salads I eat are of the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink type - which is absolutely fine BUT certainly lacks creativity ;P I looove the addition of sweet potato to the kale salad (they sounded so crispy!), the use of sunflower seeds in the taco "meat" for the second recipe and the parmesan with arugula - never added vegan cheese to my salads! . Anyways, really a great video! I love your filming style, all the tips and stories and simply your sense of humor :D Have a great rest of the week!
Oh my word 😍 my dream guy is vegan! 🥰🥰 Loved this video, your style, and your personality. I came here looking for colorful salad inspo and I got a whole lot more! 🥰
Thanks that salad look yummy. Going to make that one because I love kale but need to make my salad a lil different like your. Those sweet potato’s and chick peas will really set it off . Yum yum.👍🏾☺️
I’m so glad UA-cam suggested you to me. I want to start incorporating more salads in my diet, but I don’t love the idea of Salads lol. just made it more practical because you understand how much I really don’t wanna do this 😂
Love them! Your videos never disappoint. I have a bunch of salad grown on my balcony and need to use it up. Will make those for sure. Also, I have been looking for a taco salad recipe, as if you read my mind. Thanks 😁 Not gonna lie though, you really got me hooked on the chickpea salad...I make it all of the time...lol 😆
I'm allegic to walnuts and as I flex toward a plant based diet... I saw alot of things made with walnuts... that I would love to eat...and ease my transition. Anyway, thank you for the sunflower seeds. I can't wait to try 😋 I love your channel!
What's your formula for a great salad?
eating the rainbow is a solid formula i learned a few years ago and making an effort to add variety makes food more visually appealing for me as well as incorporating contrasting taste profiles
greetings love salads great joy heaven ASE ASE ASE 😃🥰😛💯💯👍👍❤❤
As a main dish it should be nutritious & filling and have lots of different colours & textures and crunch & creaminess! 😋
Fresh, crunchy greens/vegetables and a great dressing are key for any good salad, IMO!
Sweet (fruit), salty (miso or soy sauce), healthy oil (avo or seeds), savory (beans or tofu). Makes it a meal, not a meal opener. 🙂
some good music ; )
I love my hot/cold salads. Cooked potatoes and a few cooked veggies/lentils/chick peas over any kind of greens drizzled with balsamic glaze, mustard (any kind), Tahini, 1-2 tablespoons of hummus, lime juice.
🤌🏾 so tasty!
Doesn’t sound good
@@JuanMartinez-df1lc at all
Sounds delicious yum

"What colors have I not had enough of this week. I find it more effective than counting sheep" That is brilliantly a classic my friend!! Great quote! I often think that way all the time.

Your attitude throughout the video, the beautiful cinematics, and the actual salads themselves all gave me the reasons to subscribe! Amazing job.

I love that!! Thanks, Kathie!
Kale salad definitely my favorite and adding the sweet potato is genius. I used to use zucchini noodles too with some tomatoes and tofu 😋
How is it having a garden I want one in the future also
@@faitheloveschrist it’s wonderful! A little bit of love and attention reaps a bountiful harvest😊 greens are especially easy to grow especially in cooler weather. I grew arugula and kale all winter!
@@kathiegoldy3852 wow thanks so much tired of the poison food. Any beginner plants to start growing?
I love how you explain the full process of cooking, you really have a passion on this.

I love the sense of humour in your filming. Like the way you caught that runaway chickpea! Made me laugh 😊

OMG! I love salads, especially ones you can make a meal out of. 😁
I like to have extra salad wrapped up in a tortilla like a salad burrito 🤣
🙌🏾
Yes that's me it's hot and I don't want to cook salads are my go to so many way to make a different salad i like making my own salad dressing ....yum
I love your shelves and the hanging plants! The simple ingredient visuals are fantastic.
thank you so much!

My goodness I dont know what is better, cooking your amazing recipes or watching your videos!! Great work! Thank you!
The possibilities for a mouth watering & satisfying salad are endless! Now I'm going to my fridge and pantry to
determine what I'm going to have in mine for lunch. Of course, color, color, color! 😊
🙌🏾 YES! all about the colors!
You are so personable, and your sense of humor so natural, that I would watch your videos just to soak up your pleasant personality!
Dried cranberries are a must also pimp my salad toppings are bomb.
i like it!
I like how you put your recipes together and your style of filming. ❤️ Thank you for sharing.
thank you, Mary!
I absolutely LOVE Kale salads.... I Love salads period! Looking for new recipes and things to add to my kale salads. This was great, thank you !
Kale was like eating construction paper while smelling soil🤣🤣🤣 I love your videos, your commentaries are hilariously true!! You are awesome!!!!!!
Too funny 😂
I've been a salad fiend lately. I can't get enough of them! Perfect for a meat/veggie diet with low carb diet. I want more!
Love this videos. Showing what you eat rather than general nutrition talk is so much more concrete for me.
I really like that taco salad because I would never have thought of using soaked sunflower seeds with seasoning to make a taco meat substitute. Thank you for this video.
Is it just me or is this gentleman just absolutely amazing?! I see a superstar in the making? 🙌🏼 #genius on so many levels 😮
Yep! 😂
You are a joy to watch and learn from. Your enthusiasm for life shines through and makes everything all the more enjoyable. Also - YUM!!
Yooooooooo!!!! That kale salad was LIFE!!! Thank you so much for inspiring me to think outside the basic salad box! Day 10 of plant based eating and I’m
amazed by all the delicious healthy flavors I’ve been missing out on all these years. I feel FANTASTIC!
Sweet potato, avocado, chickpeas+ some greens it's my favorite combination! To add some Jerusalem's artichoke (sunchoke) WOW!
Just love the rainbow 🌈 way of squeezing in all of the colours
🙌🏾
New subbie here! I appreciate the quality, time and effort that you put into creating this video. And the food looks delish! 😊
thank you, Doria!
Kale pesto has been my go to this summer in the uk, blitzing it in the food processor beats chewing it👌🏻
this is true! good share!
Love roasted beets artichoke hearts and ........ and watercress ,cucumber....gotta go cause there's a salad for that Thanks
Also small Avocado and lemon Blueberries or grapes or other fresh fruit. Always EV OO
I've been eating salads more this year than I ever have. Most of them have been BASIC. This video has some great ideas I plan on trying in my next salad.
I love your teaching, instructions & insights...especially the kale analogy because I love green cabbage but hate kale...I'm trying though...you're just great!!!
I just love to live off of salads and soup !!!❤
I think you have the best food vlog on UA-cam. I learn something everytime!

You’re so funny I really enjoy all your videos. The music and all the chopping of beautiful vegs makes me happy 😊 thank you

You're so peacefull...this was meditation for me
Seasoned hominy is a nice addition to Mexican bowls too.
The sunflower seeds... Great source of vitamin E, Copper, Iron, Folate, B1 and B6! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORRRRRRRRRRK! Also... Don't be afraid to throw apple in a salad :)
you got it!
Wow. I never thought of doing that with sunflower seed. Thanks for the idea.

Great tip on the washing of kale - it's especially important when eating raw veggies.
I really like the way you film your recipes. Hooks me every time.
It makes such a big difference and healthy to eat plant-base.
I was told that hard chips are like daggers that can cut through your gut lining, leaving holes in it.
I love the music. It is unexpectedly whimsical.

I love the view from above, I can see what it looks like as if I were to make it.
