Thanks Derek. I just made a dressing for my spinach salad, and thanks to you I also garnished it with perfectly sliced Japanese cucumbers thank to my mandolin (bought on your recommendation).
#3 also had ginger.
Your awesome thank you. ❤
I’m 5.5 years vegan but only recently have I really committed to being wfpb. I have never been a salad eater but dude, I just made garbanzo girl’s salad and the first dressing here and I am blown away. I’ve never enjoyed a salad so much.
Thank you Derek 🙏
Thanks to your creativity on salad dressings my meals are more enjoyable much more sustainable and nutritious. Thank you 😊 much love from Albuquerque NM 🙌🏻
Definitely one of the things I love about this channel. The sauces and salad dressings!
I just tried one of your dressings. We are so done with store bought and ingredients we don't understand. To thinker I used ground chia seeds. My dressing turned out amazing. Thanks Derick.
Super simple ridiculously easy delicious dressing: 1 apple (or nectarine or pear or...), tablespoon mustard, 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoon tahini, 2-3 dates, 1/3 cup water, blend till smooth.
Sounds amazing. Thanks Dave, will try!
I made the first two and my family is living them! :) Thank you.
Awesome
The key to not crave for something is to enjoy what you are having. as you chew and savor them you'll learn to appreciate the special taste of the original food material instead of seasonings.
Exactly!
You can make a bean slurry in blender with additional flavors.
Where's the nooch?? My go to is tahini, nutritional yeast, lemon, pinch of salt/pepper, and enough water to make a good consistency. It doesn't even require a blender. I'll have to mix up a few new experiments tonight. Thanks for the inspiration
Yes! Noooch is a great addition. I have a cheese sauce video coming and that has nooch. Don't you worry!
You're such an inspiration. Thank you for being so great.
Love the dressings, brother! Thanks

It's okay. Can't follow me everywhere. Haha.

Thanks for the tips. You are a huge inspiration to me, and others I'm sure
Happy to hear it! Thanks.
Hahahah that shot of you and your girlfriend laughing in the background. It was perfect xd

Oh great! Thank you.
That first dressing was beast!
Will definitely try these out!
Hope you like!
I just came your first salad dressing, so yummy thanks
Thank you so much for the dressing recipe! I didn't have any dates on hand, so I used a bit of honey instead, and the dressing came out delicious. Yum!
Just stumbled on your channel, subscribed. Man you're right when you say it's cold in Canada (I'm from Québec, -10c this morning).. Thanks for the inspiration 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the sub man. I am on the far west coast so we don't have it nearly as bad, but I know the east coast winters from when I was younger.
love this guy
Oh man! Just made your first dressing recipe and holy! Sooo tasty!
great vid thanks for sharing this vid I'm transitioning to lant based foods but I lie saad dressings on my salads so I been looking for a healthy version so thanks for postng this
another AMAZING video! and great tips on how to go about coming up with it a dressing. don't miss a day of your work. thanks for all the inspiration. I'm working on getting bigger, just can't intake as much or something and this golfers elbow isn't helping. anyways, thanks D!
AMAZING video and what it did for me is give me a start to make my own dressings. I just made my first and I'm so happy to have something to put on a salad. I've been vegan for for a month now and you have been pivotal in my success. THANK YOU DEREK!
What I did was make a roasted red pepper, apple base. Didn't have dates so i put in a Larabar cashew cookie. Just cashews and dates
This is fantastic! I love salad dressings/sauces and I am so afraid of making a sauce/dressing that turns out gross. So I typically stick with two or three dressings/sauces 😫 but I get burned out of them quickly and need change! Thank you for this!
You inspired me for create a salad dressing and it is so delicious! My combination: macadamia nuts, apple cinder vinegar, dates, dill, sea salt and golden flax seeds :)
fire in some red pepper... this is obviously orange. LOL That was awesome. I love your down to earth videos, definitely don't need crazy perfection to be an outstanding youtuber/channel!
My life. Always saying the wrong thing and realizing after I film haha
Great video, I never thought about making my own dressing! Excited to see some calisthenics videos once it warms up! Maybe advice on bulking to gain muscle and staying at a lower body fat percentage? Keep up the good work!
Yah, that is a great topic. Thanks Evan. Much more workout stuff to come. I am not that up on my game though, will have to re-learn levers and few other things before I show off too much. Haha.
I was surprised about the variety or flavors and ingredients you mixed together , but they all look and seem like dressings I would really enjoy. I'll give one of them a shot next time I have a salad. thanks for the recipe advice!
Great, hope you enjoyed them.
Great tips Derek! Just made some citrusy sweet dressing (with fancy agave lol) was delish! 👌
So fancy!! yummm
Love this cause then you don't feel bad drenching the salad in dressing - hahaha
Hey Derek! Loving your videos man. Love all your info. I've done a lot research recently on going vegan and you helped push me across the line because of your fitness and physique to be honest. I wanted to get get ripped and wasn't sure about going vegan. I started looking at the lifestyle a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed with Crohn's, and was also quietly influenced by a vegan work mate. Fast forward to last week, I caught a mini-documentary with John Joseph of the Cro Mags, then I was checking out vegan athletes, came across Jim Morris, then your channel.
You have a life long subscriber right here!
P.S. If you are using a camera for your main shot, you should use your phone for an alternative angle :-D
Nice. Exactly what I do in the kitchen - "Did I put avocado already? Oh, I'll just put peanut butter too." :D
Thats amazing!! I'm gonna try this soon! 😁
Awesome! Hope you like them.
Hi Derek, I make your strawberry dressing all the time and love it! But this morning I realized I didn't have any strawberries or lemons, but I did have some frozen mango and limes...so I subbed the mango & lime for the strawberry & lemon, and it was still amazing! Now I'm wondering what other fruits I can experiment with??!! Thank you so much for your delicious recipes! I am loving your cookbook!
Lovin the reggae at the beginning :)
I haven't tried it yet, but am hopeing to in the next week or so, making vegan yogurt(s) to use as a base in many different dressings. like green goddess dressing, or even ranch
apparently making yogurt is as simple as adding probiotic to a nut, soy, or coconut milk and allowing it to ferment in a warm area for a few hours - a day
im hopeing to make several and keep them in ketchup like bottles so they can be put on all kinds of dishes very readily and easily :)
Hi Derek! Love your videos! I'm a new vegan (+- half a year in transition) and they're so helpful :) Until about a month ago I used to worry a lot about caloric intake and I used to eat a lot of oil (coconut, olive and a ton of avocados) and legumes (beans and also isolated soy protein powder). I was attempting not to lose any muscle mass or weight (and it worked), but felt like I was missing something important. Now I am trying to minimise my consumption of processed foods and I try to build my meals around whole fruit&vege (in addition to healthy portions of legumes and whole carbs) and simply eat more of everything when I need to, not just the calory-dense foods. It seems quite right. My digestion is way better and my stomach doesn't feel crammed with food any more after meals. Very curious how my body will react to this during the next months! Thanks for the inspiration! The only thing I am still worrying about is omega 3 (I'm in uni and I really need my brains to function at their best potential ;) ) I usually use linseed oil as my salad dressing (with some lemon and pepper), but would you advice against that because the oil is not a whole food? Maybe use the whole seeds in some way? Other options like algea seem ridiculously expensive and often are processed supplements as well. I have hemp powder but I can't seem to make any palatable recipes with it that don't involve a ton of sweetener even when I use spices and cocoa to try and mask the flavour of the hemp. Do I even need to watch omega 3 when I am already limiting omega 6 intake? I would love to hear some of your ideas on this! How can I eat a whole foods vegan diet that is brain friendly?
Yummy. Will try
Awesome!
woow, great ideas Derek, thanks! I always missed good dressings for salad, now I have not only some cool recipes, but the method, how should I mix them, and invent new ones ! cheers man :) -Richard (richishealth)
Cool a job well done have a good weekend both of you I'm not much for dressings so these look interesting I will give these a test have a good weekend both of you be good be safe
great video i started eating vegan about 4 -5 weeks ago & i only knew about one avacado dressing and i used to eat alot of salads before so this vid helps alot
Amazing! Way to make some great changes. Keep it up.
Hi just going have lunch going to try the orange dressing 😘let you know 😘
Cant wait to try these thank you! How long do you think they would last in the fridge?
This reminds me of what you said inQ &A. Bristol about the dressing.
You were there and remembered! Very cool. :D
Thanks for the ideas Derek!
For something really simple tomato sauce is great on a salad too. Just throw some ripe tomatos in the blender.
Yes! Great idea!
It would have been nice to have the recipes posted. But I wrote them down. Good job!
omg 😍 i need to try these
Oh yah, so easy!
how about some footage of that guys property you found with the bars, slack line and what not.
Evan Staite YES! I agree!!!
Yes! I will be back, it has just been so cold and his property is super wet. It looks like he built a couple things too.
Love how you simplify the process of making everyday foods and sauces because it really doesn't have to take too long and use a lot of one time complicated ingredients that will sit in your panty. What can I use to thicken the sauces instead of avocado ?
Ah great. I needed this, because I have problems figuring out good dressings. Dates as sweetener, great idea.
I will leave out tahine, because I have a sesame allergy.
"....or you can use agave if you're super fancy......" hahahaha
Clearly not fancy. lol.
Some of the ingredients I use and not in any particular order is kombucha ... any flavour will do with the added benefit of probiotics. soy yogurt....I am allergic to nuts, seeds and avocado 😑, nooch, poppyseed, dried figs maple syrup, mango..adds creamy especially when you can't eat avocados. tajin spice...available at Mexican food stores or go to Cabo and get some. 😊 saffron, cardamon, any citrus zest...
Good stuff.
Watching your videos from NZ.
Perth, Australia too!
And sweden! :)
And the UK!!! :)
SF Bay area! EAST BAY PUNX RULE!
and Germany :D
awesome. Thanks a lot for this.
These look incredibly delicious!! You use a Vitamix right??
dill seed is great to add too
Love it. So many herbs to be added.
Maybe a strange request but would you consider making a vid for new Vegans around the subject of "Crucial Cooking Equipment"?
Like, best knives, pots/pans/blenders, little gadgets or whatever. Maybe even a list of what crucial cooking ingredients to stock up on as an aspiring vegan "chef"...and if not a video maybe you could just give me a few pointers?
Thank you so much for this content, you're the man.
ok so Canadian eh! The Braggs I mentioned up here is called Soy Seaoning and replaces salt. Can be found in several stores in maybe the asian deparment, forst time on yur channel and like that you do not use oil but no salt would be even better. in BC HERE
Hey bro, looks like you got the plan for 1 vid per week but ur vids are good enough to post them more often
Thanks man. The plan is whenever I can work in a video in-between helping clients and doing the rest of life. I just uploaded another. I will aim for 2 per week for a while. Thanks for the encouragement.
You can also just simmer a decent quality supermarket balsamic vinegar for 15-20 minutes uncovered until it's a light syrup consistency. It will thicken even more as it cools. Boom, you have a balsamic reduction. It's a one ingredient flavor bomb with a long shelf life and a thickness you can't get from most other oil-free dressings.
Yes, balsamic vinegar is very tasty. I know lots of the bottled stuff is full of sulphites, so it's good to know you can make it fairly easily.
Your videos are awesome. I get quite a good load of tips and inspo, but better yet I can forward you to the guys, so they see that you don't need animal parts to look and feel great. Keep it up!
Where'd you buy that sweater? looks dope!
awesome video! how long can the dressing be kept in the fridge? thx
I'm a new subscriber :)
Do you happen to have a video on how to get rid of the odor from your blender? Since you seem to use it for everything.
Just came back to this after making my dressing. Try a tablespoon of tahini, 2 raw garlic cloves, 5 sprigs of mint, 10 sprigs of basil, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and a touch of a sweet component.
Great! Will try these too.
If you add some fresh chilli thats great for a mexican salad with red beans and corn.
What also goes great are some peanuts in the sauce. That tastes great if you throw some chopped up dates in your salad 🥗. 😜👍🏼😋
Oh yes! I love a good peanut sauce. Thanks for the comment and support.
5:03 That's some happy tahini ;)
Good afternoon sir I'm going on vegan day 5 and I love it so far I love burritos and all I need to complete it is the sauce so thanks for the video also letting go of all the soy in foods and that's where it's kind of difficult to find but I know with really good research I can do it
There is so much to eat other than soy, so you will figure it out. I eat tempeh and tofu myself, but it would be very easy to avoid. Just use lots of other beans and legumes. Good luck!
If you like meat replacements, try making some recipes with seitan.
Nice vitamix... its a game changer for sauces, smoothies, cashew milk, all that stuff. You can seriously make anything into a sauce/soup/dip. We've been vegan a year now and that blender made it much easier than I thought. One of our favorite dressings: mushroom, cashew, tahini: spice as needed. QUESTION: We have noticed that since going vegan, animals like us more... have you?
Your dressings sound great. And you are right, I should have maybe mentioned how amazing vitamix's are. It's hard for me not to sound like a salesman once I get going though. Haha. Fun question. It is an interesting thought isn't it. I feel like I have noticed that too. If you think about it, generally in the animal kingdom if you eat meat you are a predator. Many animals have such strong senses of smell, I can totally see them being able to smell (or sense) the difference between a predator or not. Who knows though ;)
Thats our take on animals as well. If you're ever in the SF bay area: we can point you to yummy vegan restaurants! We try to keep things simple but having a date night where we dont have to cook is great...
