- I have three high-protein salads you can eat all summer long. Two are made with chicken and another with crispy tofu that may have my favorite dressing of the three.

Clean while you go is really important, it makes the cleanup feel like a lot less work, and in return it makes cooking more fun in my eyes.
I also like the "I cook, you do the dishes" method. (At least I like that when I'm the one doing the cooking.)
@@brianjavorsky2340 This is a horrible precedent on teaching not to clean as you go as "it's not my problem". I wish I taught my older kids this, but have corrected with my 11yr old and she rarely leaves the kitchen in disarray. When either of my mid 20yr olds come by, the kitchen is always a disaster when they make anything.
Personally it make my cooking and eating more miserable because i know i need to go back and forth with that, yet even for me it's better then to wash a big mountain of dishes after.
@@Flahtort it makes mine much more enjoyable because i dont have to fret about doing the dishes afterwards. I get to eat good food after jamming music and enjoying the process. If you want to cook well and enjoy good food you should always try to enjoy the journey to get there!
@@bjamin Splitting chores with the people you live with isn't a bad thing, there just has to be an agreement between the people involved. I wouldn't "I cook you clean" with my hypothetical kids but a friend, roommate, or partner makes sense, especially if you both like to cook
dude, your intros are so good 😎
I demand a collaboration!
We need a collab fr
Hey, Bri!
Yeah but your outros are so good. Ethan doesn't dance.
Nice to see you here Bri!
The quality of your content is top tier and you still manage to improve consistently. The last few videos have been on another level
I appreciate it!
Just wanted to add one more comment saying we really appreciate the vegetarian option! I'm vegetarian but I've been a big fan of the channel since 2020 because your videos do so much more than just present a recipe and I can usually figure out how to replace the meat on my own. That said, I always appreciate a good tofu recipe!
as a mostly vegetarian, the tofu salad is your first recipe since your video on chips/fries that I can really see myself doing - superb content as always. Thank you Ethan!
You are welcome!
Same here! 👍
I came for the Ginger, but stayed for Ethan's meticulously produced videos, contagious enthusiasm for food, and talent for teaching.
That’s prince Harry
You have genuinely changed the way I look at cooking. Its always been this awful chore to me that Ive dreaded and, honestly, Ive been ordering a LOT more food over the last few years just to avoid the task. Ive still got a long way to go, but little by little Im feeling more inspired to get back into the kitchen and do right by my body and taste buds. Thanks for the inspo, friend, keep it up!
You can try meal prepping in that case. Cook once at sundat - eat full working weak of breakfasts. Also cleaning up would be less.
@@Flahtort eat full working week of breakfasts- WHAT?
@@charlieross4674 , i mean having breakfast prepared for full working week.
You're the only show I consistently watch for cooking now because you're so good at giving helpful life tips along with your recipes. You're also the only person who hasn't seemed to let your popularity get to your head. Thanks for the quality content.
Can i recommend Sonny from ThatDudeCanCook, he and Ethan are my fav cooking channels.
I love this. “Nesting” my cooking tasks when I first started to cook in earnest was life-changing and was a huge factor in keeping me motivated to cook more and in more complex ways. Finishing a moderately-complicated meal and turning around to… nothing much to clean… was an enormous boost to my enthusiasm.
I came for recipes but also got a great education about nesting tasks ❤ you’re always going above and beyond to pack in the quality content 🙏🏼
among other things, I love when Ethan absolutely houses whatever he just cooked
I love the way you eat. Nothing better than watching someone enjoy their food as much as Ethan does.

OMG - the BEST, MOST tender, and FLAVORFUL chicken I have ever made. I have to tone down the dressing a little. My mouth is still on fire. I left the seeds in the Serrano peppers. This will definitely be a weekly meal! Thank you for keeping us well fed!
Love them! In any case, a suggestion: I'm from the south of Spain, so here it's very hot in summer... or from April to October 😂, so we have developed over the years lots of cold dishes. We eat a lot of salads but since we need the same nutrients, it's very typical to switch the pasta that you're showing for legumes like chickpeas, red kidney beans, lentils, etc. Very nutritious and very nice as well! 😄 You can use them the same way you use the pasta in pasta salads. Some people think those things are better hot in stews... and maybe that's true, but cold in salads with good seasoning are very nice as well 😄, just be open-minded!
I've been using a chickpea pasta lately. Lots of protein and fiber compared to typical pasta. It smells bad while cooking but when you cover it in vinegar and oil and add in all the meat and vegetables I can't taste the difference.
First is room/space in your kitchen. When you have a very small space to work it can be extremely daunting.
"I like to get the greens out of the way first". Perfect!
Your explanation and examples of nesting tasks are so helpful!! It really helps us who are new to cooking.
Love the nesting comments. This is something all line cooks and prep cooks implicitly understand: stagger tasks so that they all finish at relatively the same time
I think I’m going to use gochujang and mayo instead of the adobo chiles… simply because I recently fell in love with gochujang!
I can’t wait to make these salads !
A thing i learned is that adding fresh herbs as lettuce and nuts and seeds helps a salad to be way more tasty too
I feel like a lot of people are overlooking the 25 cal for 2tbsp of that dressing, holy smokes! That’s awesome! Made the jalapeño ranch and chicken tonight and it was 👌
Thank you for veg options!!🤩🙌
I love your videos so much, you make cooking so approachable! Thank you for adding these "nesting tasks"... i am Autistic and ADHD with severe executive dysfunction. And even though I "know" the dishes need cleaned, often when Im doing tasks I can get really overwhelmed and scattered and not know what to do next or in what order to do something. Cooking and keeping the kitchen clean is one of those things that suffers the most. And having something simple inserted into a recipe like "clean dishes while you wait" is so so helpful.
Vegetarian Options are so helpfull!!! Eating Meat every single day is neither healthy nor cheap.
or good for the enviroment
Tofu salad with rice, Chilli crisp, boiled egg, and some kimchi was the bomb. Great flavors in the miso dressing!
I often bring pasta salad to picnics etc and have it for lunch at work, as it can easily be eaten at room temp. I often use pesto instead of a dressing. Mostly pesto rosso. I add olives, tomato, mozzarella and sometimes pine nuts. So, so, so easy and quick.
Lost 10lbs since the follow. You and Brian Lagerstrom have changed my relationship with food. THANK YOU
The Miso Ginger dressing is fabulous!
I literally paused this video to make that dressing and wow. It's going to be in my fridge 24/7 now. 👍
Making my RuneScape efficiency transfer to cooking and life as a whole was a game changer for me
Thank you for the tofu crisping idea!!
I can’t stop making that salad! Bless you for introducing me to chipotles in adobo!
Ethan this is the best cooking video on UA-cam. The editing and content value is unmatched.
This video was a masterclass, one of your best ones yet. Great job, Ethan!
love the format of your content!
The first salad looks delicious, thanks!
Your videos are so thoughtful and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for what you do!
Your videos just keep getting better man, I love the nesting tasks idea in this video and can’t wait to test out these dishes
love the way you deliver your content..
Seriously how did you know this has been my top search for recipes lately?! I need some dense salads for summer!!
3:58 This method of halving cherry tomatoes is so smart holy crap
You eat so aggressively for no reason. I love it 😭😭
Obsessed! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Man I've been following you for more a year and you never disappoint.
God bless ♥️
cant believe i came in for salad recipes and im able to get taught about something i deeply need help with constantly, i always remember the videos where you time how long it takes to cook things vs a fast food place and this is just a step up
Thank you so much for teaching your amazing tasking skills.
Precisely what I need, thank you Ethan!
I love that you chose lumaconi pasta for the first salad. It is my absolute favourite shape of pasta.
I’ve watched you from almost your start on here, maybe you had 60k followers. It’s so nice to see where you are, you are so helpful and make such good content. Thank you.
love the nesting tasks!! it makes things so easy when im struggling to keep my brain going on tough days. appreciate all you do for these videos ethan -- you're a lifesaver.
Ethan, I love your content. I do most of the cooking and meal prepping used to completely stress me out until I found your videos. Not a problem anymore. Your deep dives are both entertaining and informative. I especially love the faster than fast food series with Gabe. Who is great by the way. His honest perspective is a welcome addition. Much success!
I made the Italian Pasta Salad yesterday. OMG! It is so good. This will definitely be on repeat this summer. Thank you! ❤❤ 🤤
I made your chipotle-adobo chicken salad with the homemade dressing and it was bomb
Ya my summer "lazy" meals have slowly evolved to seasoning and making a large amount of chicken for grilling and then making salads with the leftovers. It just makes sure I have a good few days of barely thinking and eating delicious food
thanks for the food tips as always man!!
quality content everytime
I first discovered your channel a year or two ago and I liked your recipes but I never subscribed. Recently I’ve been watching your videos again and I have to say I’m really impressed with how consistently you’ve improved everything from the editing to the actual video subject matter. I think you pose and answer some really interesting questions and I love how healthy and modern your recipes are.
You’ve more than earned my sub keep it up bro
Miso hungry now, definitely making these next week!
Much thanks for that itallian pasta salad recipe! I was watching the video while cleaning the kitchen and wondering what to do to use up some leftover roast chicken, and bam. Changed some of the veg going by what was in my fridge, but it came out great, very refreshing for summer!
I LOVE that you use all grams for measurements.
Thank you so much for the tofu love!! Very much appreciate it. Can't wait to try that one - I have all the ingredients for the miso ginger dressing (Dijon mustard version).
Made the first one for dinner tonight since my lady is on a cut right now. So simple, so easy, and delicious. Never cooked with Chipotles in adobo before and wow it makes a great marinade.
I've been looking for some crouton alternatives that provide more nutrients, and the crispy tofu looks perfect. Thanks, Ethan!
I was just thinking about this a few weeks ago. Everybody films the recipe but the dishes and prepwork is not usually mentioned, even though some tips on doing that simultaneously really help to make cooking and cleanup easier. Thank you
You are my life coach ❤❤❤
I was a little reluctant to use miso in a salad, but I sure am glad I gave it a try. That dressing is amazing with smoked tofu.
Made a version of the pasta salad for my work lunches this week, it so delicious!
I swapped chickpea pasta for regular pasta for added protein and nutrition and a few other ingredients based on what I had on hand.
Beautiful vid Ethan 🤙🏼
Pretty awesome. The multi tasking is huge. Keep CLEANING while you are there anyways!!! I agree 100%
Thanks for putting that out there.
Hi Ethan. I've been watching your videos for a while but this is the first time I comment here. Great video as always, just wanted to give an additional thanks for including a vegetarian meal in your video. I'm not 100% vegetarian but I've been including vegetarian meals more often in my diet. You always give great ideas in your videos and I always look forward to them (been also someone that works from home) so I would really love if this is something that you would consider doing more often.
Thank you!
I don’t usually comment on videos but you killed it on this one absolutely loved the production quality
The Chipotle Chicken Salad is class!!
a video dedicated to different types of marinades would be awesome, i'm starting to cook and as long as i know how i'm going to cook a particular protein i know what i want in terms of a dish
my summer salads of choice are shirazi and fattoush
Love the tofu technique. Struggled to find a way to get it crispy without frying…and can’t justify an air fryer for a few limited tasks. Amazing content as always!
My favorite kind of salad is the tomato salad. It's pretty much just chopped tomatoes with sour cream, but you can also add cucumber and onion. Mom planted 42 different breeds of tomatoe this year. so we'll be eating a lot of it this summer
Glad I’m not the only one who’s cooking motivation craters in July and August
We need a seasonings/dips only video ASAP!! Ethan mate🙏
I never knew it had a term, but I’ve really been doing the nesting technique a lot recently while not only cooking, but every household task!
The jalapeno ranch sauce is super similar to the one we sell at the restaurant I work at, Chuy's.
I do think that specific sauce (and the tortilla chips you dip into the ranch) seems to be the most unanimously well-received part of the meal. So it's 100% a great thing to replicate at home lol
Ahhh, chuy's. 😊 loved the original one!
Ethan, great ideas
I’m trying your salads thank you
I made the jalapeño dressing before finishing the video 😅 the reason is bc I’m about to eat lunch with steak and salad. Magnific 👍🏼
It is heartening to see you emphasize the 1% of salt. Most other channels are vague about how much salt to add.
@@handlenot030 Adeline, "to taste" is for finishing salt. There is a 50% weight difference between kosher salt and table salt if you go by volume. The CIA, Johnson & Wales, Le Cordon Bleu, and other cooking schools all go by 1% salt by weight. Kenji Lopes-Alt, Adam Ragusea, and Helen Rennie all did a feature about this.
Pasta salads are my go to for using up veggie and veggie-adjacent leftovers!
Awesome recommendations. Thanks :)
Great stuff.
Its' a bit counterintuitive, but adding tofu to salted boiling water really work wonders for frying.
i personally enjoy oil based pasta salad to creamy when its made with mayo or a dressing and that pasta salad looks phenomenal
This is the best youtube channel in the universe.
killer video!!!
Omg thank you for this video! I hate cooking during the summer.
nice! and tricky with the tomatoes!
Love to see the tofu!!!
Staring at food cooking is painful so I need to find something to do while waiting. The hard part is remembering I’m cooking but I’ve gotten better paying attention to smell and also helpful is listening to the food.
I love that you always use grams
So I have made the first recipe a few times. It is a keeper. But I think a nice way to prepare the dressing is actually using an immersion blender, which works just fine
For the pasta salad, you can use alternative pastas like black bean or lentil. Extra protein, less grain, and it also tends to be a little more textured.
The recipe was so good even when I burned the chicken it still tasted good!
Great video, I was just thinking I needed some more Summer salad recipes.
Have you ever done a video on how you organize your recipes? I use onenote to keep track of them all but I'm always looking for a better method.
