I use chopping scissors (Trudeau Toss and Chop Salad Tongs) they were a game changer! They are curved slightly on the bottom to use in a bowl. I’ve had them for three years now and sometimes I even use them to chop my entire salad. I’ll roughly chop some vegetables and put everything in a bowl and chop with my scissors. It’s a great way to get teenagers to eat their salad as well. Thanks for the video! Beautiful bowls!
Wow.. I'm a chef,and didn't think about chopping the salad or veggies down this way to get then all in. I just started this lifestyle, at 56. It is more than time to lose this weight, nothing ever worked. I ordered your book, reading it now. I'll look into getting this bowl and some of the dressing you recommend.
Wow...why didn't I think of this! Life changer for me...it's been my breakfast every darn day since I watched this....huge bowl of greens - in & done! Thank you AJ!
I just picked out my Christmas gift--last year I got an Instant Pot and Breville Food Processor. My vegan kitchen accessories just keep growing. Such beautiful bowls; it was hard to pick one. I currently chop my salad on my cutting board and it takes almost 20 minutes to chop everything individually, so hopefully when I get my bowl it will save me some time. Thanks AJ.
Every one of your videos is helping me so much! I’ve read Unprocessed and about to start The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss. I promise, I’ll stop commenting on every video! I’m bingeing and thoroughly enjoying them!
As a tenth wedding anniversary gift I was bought a mezzaluna and I was unsure what I was going to use it for but after you making short work of the spinach as a salad and really hating spinach salad because of the leaf size - I will now try it out.
That made my mouth water. I make it a point to eat spinach every day, and I usually shred it a little by hand if I'm going to eat it in a salad (as opposed to a smoothie or in soup). But I really like the way you chop it to tiny bits, and then add berries and balsamic vinegar. Yum! Oh, and I've been completely plant-based since Nov 2017, and feeling better than ever. Thanks, AJ.
Great vid AJ. I have to say between you and Tami over at Nutmeg Notebook, the chopped salad has revolutionized my WFPD diet. There are many thing to praise the chopped salad for, but I will be forever amazed at the shear variety of food you can get into one of these. It crazy! The nutritional value is off the chart.
Thanks for all the information AJ. And thanks for informing us of the products that you use. It makes it a lot easier to conform to this eating style. You are the BEST!
Thank you cheff AJ your the best 👌 ❤ 💗 love you , love to meet you one day, you have changed my life ❤ just a sweet beautiful girl 👧 thank you 😊 💖 i am a big eater I always been fat never new now to eat ❤ but you have made it easy now ❤ 💖 ♥ my weight made be disabled I'm very poor I feel richly blessed finding Chef AJ
I am reading your book at the moment very interesting. The ultimate weight loss. When I am eating I love to eat simple. I eat either pototoes or rice each day not both. How much pound of either would you recommend for the day. Plus my vegetables of course. Do you weight you carbs before you cook it or when you are putting it in your plates.
She does not suggest weighing carbs. Her entire idea is based around the idea that people eat the same size of food every single day, but that we can lose weight by controlling the calorie density. Weighing food and determining how many carbs you should have in a day is a completely different idea much more closely based on macronutrient tracking. If you want to follow her plan, just flip over the book, look at the picture and eat to the left of the red line. I hope this helps.
@@juliematt1997 Yes. At the end of the book, I don't know if you have checked that yet, she has a bunch of wonderful recipes for being able eat the way she teaches. They are delicious too!
Hi. You are so right because my teeth is not as strong as when i was younger and my mouth hurt with all the chewing plus it edges also. Great video. Thanks.
@@CHEFAJ ...thanks for the reply! Im just starting to watch your videos as i just recently changed my diet, even getting rid of the nuts - thanks! ...ohhh wanting/needing to lose 100lbs...
I’m following you for this past maybe 2 -3 weeks I’m kind of frustrated bc I’m loving how I’m eating no problem with that. My dilemma is I look like I’ve lost weight my pants looser my back and under arms seem more tone smaller. My husband says it looks like I’m losing but I got on the scale this morning and it has not budged I am so disappointed not even one Pound nothing but I look like I have. Any suggestions???? Trying not to give up with frustration
Perhaps you have answered this question before. However, how do you maintain your veganism? Of late I find myself craving fish, eggs and cheese although I have been a vegetarian since 1989.
Absolutely beautiful top you have on, when you're thin clothes look so lovely on a person. I wish I had your energy Chef AJ to take off the 100 lbs that I need to. I've been so, so exhausted for years that it's completely overwhelming to keep up
While I would love to follow the recommendation of eating a large salad everyday, my digestion doesn't allow for me to process raw veggies very good 😕. Any suggestions on how to get more salads in without all the digestive issues?
@@CHEFAJ This really brings the pain home. I too witnessed chronic deathly illness on someone who was "following doctor;s orders" and ate their way to the grave....

I found the same years ago - that chopping greens made me want to eat more. Makes salad more appetizing.
Love those bowls!
Agree!
I love your energy...you make eating vegetables exciting.. like its pastry or something..mmm.. Yum!
I needed a great wedding present idea. Thank you Chef AJ! I’d like the link for the balsamic vinegar.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Holland Bowl Mill and their beautiful bowls and boards, true works of art.

Thank you for a great and informative video! 💙 Kim
Thank you for this recipe. I made this salad added a date and cashew in food processor as toppings mwah😋 magnificent!!
That was amazing. I like how you updated your tagline!
Me too!
I have kitchen scissors ✂️ I use to cut veggies 🌶 and other food 🥘 items.
Thank you for educating me about what a real chopped salad is. Didn't have a clue.
You're welcome--enjoy!
Thanks Chef AJ! I’m inspired. 🥬🥒❤️
Great recipe - thanks!!
Very lovely products! Chopped salads are great.
I am soooo jealous! The dollar stores in Pennsylvania don't have a produce section. I would be there all the time😍💕
Looks like a good choice to me. Pretty blue blouse AJ
Just found you! Loved this video 💙
Thank you! Your lace top is exquisite, as are you!
Thank you it's too expensive for me but I do love a Chopped salad a lot!
I bought a wooden bowl from Wal-Mart. It serves the purpose if you can't afford one of these bowls right now. 🙂
Hi AJ..a great Summer salad and beautiful Holland wood bowl. 🥗
Oh wow Michigan I love those bowls and hand chopper. I need all
Good job
all that chopping looks.. therapeutic .
I’m going to customize my bowl with
Genesis 1:29-30 🐾💕
All that chopping you did with the sharp cutting tool didn’t ruin the bowl? It didn’t get scratched or cut on the inside of the bowl?
not by using a Holland Bowl! hollandbowlmill.com/chef-aj/?wpam_id=2
Glad to know they can just add only walnut oil

I have to say,, one reason is, some cant chew well and those stems can be scary. So I take them off. With the chopping that would be ok.

I like your top, it's beautiful. .great salade too.
How do you take the tart/bitterness out of the balsamic vinegar?...i just started eating a salad a day and struggling with making dressing...
Be using a reduced one like California Balsamic

Muscle weighs more. Maybe you're more toned now. Non-scale victories are so helpful.
Perhaps you have answered this question before. However, how do you maintain your veganism? Of late I find myself craving fish, eggs and cheese although I have been a vegetarian since 1989.
Animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends
Thanks chef. Your response is a great motivator.
Focus on more high protein vegan foods.

Can you tell me what company the bowls are from
That chopper tool doesn't scratch the wood at all?
Cindy Gagnier a bit. But not much
How do you clean your spinach?
the easiest way is to use a salad spinner
While I would love to follow the recommendation of eating a large salad everyday, my digestion doesn't allow for me to process raw veggies very good 😕. Any suggestions on how to get more salads in without all the digestive issues?
Vehicle city Vegan try a blended salad it’s an all veggie smoothie I have a video making one
@@CHEFAJ ok thanks I will take a look 🙂
Vehicle city Vegan here’s the link ua-cam.com/video/XsCsa8985FQ/v-deo.html
Does this code still work for the free knife?
My holland bowl is on its way to me right now! I didn’t see an option to personalize, and I forgot to say I was vegan.
Does a mezzaluna knife scratch the wooden bowl?
yes, it does.
I use scissors. Total game changer to chop the salad. #FTW
Still can't hear a thing on my phone. Too much trouble to find earphones. Are you ever going to get a mic?
I am wearing a mic
CHEF AJ - I don’t know why, but the volume on all your videos is much lower than any other videos I watch on UA-cam.
I'd like one of your free balsamic samples. Now what?

Oh I wish I could eat spinach
Thumbs up!
i cant hear you
Did you move? ❤️✨🌿
MawRaw Miller yes to the desert in January
2 pounds veggies every meal?
At least one for sure

Um, the bowls are way to expensive.
No nuts???

I very much enjoy your recipes. However your videos are so heavy on promoting products!
Only products I believe will make this way of eating sustainable and enjoyable. Have you watched all 400 because less than 10% of them show products.
Your parents decided to became vegans when you were 10 years old?
My parents weren't vegans. They ate the SAD and died lingering painful deaths.
@@CHEFAJ This really brings the pain home. I too witnessed chronic deathly illness on someone who was "following doctor;s orders" and ate their way to the grave....
