[@nerddiddles6061]

I second the motion!

[@rilessmiles6590]

He can also be prime minister of my country pls. Honorary citizenship

[@TracyWashington-bf4ii]

Yeah

[@stephanieklinger9521]

I sometimes watch your videos just to listen to your soothing voice and dry humor

[@roxanamavai5599]

1:57 “And while I did say this step is optional, it’s also mandatory!” Chef John, you always crack me up! 😆

[@necrosbitch]

I love how you always take time to be sassy and fun about cooking, it adds such a personal touch and relieves the stress of following recipes to the word. Yes, have a toasted pecan while cooking. have your nose burnt by the dijon. it's an all senses activity after all, not a chemical experiment.

[@rhosa8373]

I do agree with you 💯 about chief John having a good sense humor. I love his delicious recipes as well.

[@livinginbliss]

John’s videos are my ASMR. Both inspiring and calming.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello how are you doing?

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Yeah. Especially since Steve seems to have run out of rations.

[@jacksonhogan7848]

After all, you are the Aladdin of your six satisfying salads

[@dbone3356]

You are, afterall, the one who writes the ballad for your salads.

[@sethk1698]

I've made versions of that Greek salad before but the way you do it is the best! The fresh oregano, salting the cucumber and the vinegar first tip really made the difference!!! Also the multicolor cherry tomatoes is so much better than the diced romas like I was doing. Dipping french bread in that juice is one of the greatest things on this planet! I left the cheese out, hope you aren't mad lol.

[@kijo3401]

I just put together the Big Fat Greek Salad ( followed the recipe exactly) and have it in the fridge chillin' and marrying the flavors. I. Can't. Wait. I was literally salivating making it... it smells so good, and the colors are gorgeous. Thank you Chef John!

[@overseastom]

It does look incredible. Like summer in a bowl. I'm definitely making it soon. Edit: I made it last night, and it was indeed delish. I wanted some protein to go with it, so I quickly marinated some skinless, boneless chicken thighs with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and a little sugar & olive oil, then pan fried them on high (with my crappy electric stove and slightly warped pan though, so you may not need your temp to be as high) till they got a little bit charred. Made for an awesome spring/summer meal.

[@danielmoffenbier4127]

I've been saving this on my notifications for a day now when I had time to relax and watch it. All of these look amazing, and that many Chef John puns in one video is a gift from God.

[@stauffap]

Try the following salad: -Cucumber, 2cm cubes -Red onion, 2cm cubes -Yellow bell pepper, 2cm cubes -Licchi's (whole) -Tomatoe, 2cm cubes -Chili (finely chopped) -Garlic (pressed) -A good lemon, cest and juice -Fishsauce (not much) -Sugar (a pinch) Very fresh, full of flavour and perfect for the summer. The lemon is really important. You want a good fresh lemon.

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

I just love watching you because your voice is so soft and calming 👍thank you 🙏🏾by the way we Persian have something like it but ours have chopped whole cup of cilantro instead of olive and pepper , we may add hot green pepper 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lindaarbour7229]

Love your salad chef!! There's a lots of homecooking channel out there but your the one I love best because you make REAL FOOD with good ingredients , I mean , have you notice HOW MUCH that most food channel homecooking are like ; box and can or already mixed food and bags of frozen chicken already cook or fry even meat balls frozen that you can buy??? And recipes made with soup can , sour cream and tons of cheese ( rather than making a delicious bechamel sauce ready in 5 min ???) and lots of process food ? It's not cooking its mixing and warming up and LITTLE LITTLE COOKING !!! But you chef , you make REAL FOOD !!! LOVE your cooking,,,, not much like you ....Sad to see that these days most people's doesn't cook anymore like we use to ! Keep on cooking CHEF🤗

[@melanieguenther7672]

Chef John, you are always my go-to when I'm looking for a really good recipe! Thank you!

[@GodsObedientChild-Deuteron6262]

Delicious salads! Blessed and Happy Mother's Day to ALL mothers🌍♥️✨🌼🌹🌻🌸🌷!

[@Nucifera8472]

The Panzanella and Cucumber salads have become my go to summer recipes after I first saw them on the channel. Thanks for these great recipes! Greetings from Austria

[@En_Marche]

Thank you, Chef John. They all look so good!

[@julieenslow5915]

It's not fair. If you give us six recipes, we should be able to like 6 times.

[@lisamanis4336]

Dude ! You always make me so darn hungry ! Loved watching you for years !! The recipes are fabulous!!! Keep it up and a BIG THANK YOU !!!!

[@DonaLeopoldina-dr4so]

Sunday I made the Brutus Salad; Monday I made the Greek Salad and today I made the Egg Roll in the Bowl. WOW! Delicious salads. Thank you so so much chef John. My husband loves the Egg Roll in the Bowl.

[@30shebaby]

Greek salad is my absolute favorite! Sometimes, when I have to make something for one of those things that I have to make something for, I add cooked quinoa and people rave over it! Love your channel, Chef💙

[@marilynsnider8183]

I wish you included fruit and pasta salads. They're good too.

[@bearpawz_]

If you go to his main page, where the search (magnifying glass) is.. type in 'pasta salad' ... You'll find a kabillion of them that he's done! 😋 🥣 Yum..

[@cindyengland9669]

[@annemaxson9363]

Great salads but also, you are funny! “Optional but also mandatory.” 🤣😂🤣 Great voice and delivery!

[@ambmae8]

Yum! I'd love a compilation of recipes using the mortar and pestle :)

[@johnreeves8156]

Thanks for the heads up on how to make the salad dressings. As the weather gets warmer, I have a tendency to eat more salads,but I've never tried making my own dressing. Thanks again for showing how it's done

[@kambiz7556]

Chef John, please make Ghormeh Sabzi. Rumor has it that its recipe is 5000 years old!

[@ShannonDillavou]

Omgs....I made the Brutus for dinner tonight... topped with some thin slices of leftover strip steak to round it out as a full meal. I think I have a new favorite! It was amazing!!! So yummy 😋 ❤️😀

[@Ozgipsy]

Chef John, you’ve inspired me yet again. I’m sick and tired of bought Caesars Salad 👍👍

[@xxkissmeketutxx]

Chef John this video is right on time, these salads look so delicious and I've been looking to change up my salad repertoire. Thankyou!!

[@krysten3308]

[@vildhallon4709]

[@patriciaregehr6058]

Thank you so much for these delicious recipes. Making salads in the summertime is pretty much all I do, I LOVE ME A GOOD SALAD !

[@reginaalberty2481]

Chef John, you're my favorite chef 💐🥰

[@claudiajohnson2585]

ALL look delicious! Thank you.💝

[@a-sheepof-christ9027]

Greek salad is by far the best. No fancy needed. Red onions, cucumbers, Bell pepper ,tomato, olives with stone (tell the guests),feta cheese (cheap is fine too ) and fresh lemon squeezed ontop with salt, some coarse pepper, and oregano, or assortment of Southern (european) herbs and optional : flat whole parsley-leaves . So simple, thick, zesty and is the only cold salad I find needs no meat: even though it goes well with feta stuffed coarse oregano-meatballs as a side. Serve with flatbread and yoghurt.

[@xifndefkimaenoqp]

Thank you for helping me perfect the basics

[@Josh-pe5pl]

Love ur instructions and that u explain why.

[@catherinemartina6469]

I love listening to you as much as the recipes

[@anaduny3362]

Adorable.... I enjoyed very much those salads....

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou showing us.

[@edwincabale9534]

Love to try this looks yummy

[@shanizak]

Wow john sr amazing as always

[@harper7509]

Chef John is precious! ☺️

[@wheatgerm1208]

I make a similar dish to the Greek salad, but I add a can of rinsed and drained garbanzo beans. It adds body to the salad and absorbs the flavor palette beautifully.

[@jasminebed9408]

Panzanella I call "summer in a bowl" when I have ripe garden tomatoes, and the more varieties the best.

[@teambeining]

100% vouch for the Greek Salad! My husband will do literally anything for it.

[@daddio5376]

Wow! Happening onto this video is the absolute best part of my day! I have been in a salad rut! I can’t wait to check out all your content! Love your presentation. I’ll be binging on you channel. Enjoy the day.😊

[@williamkkoroma255]

Thanks for sharing

[@JefPersonalVideos]

Its a delicious and yummy food recipe thanks for sharing

[@veevee111]

I'm really looking forward to making the egg roll salad. 👍

[@revmd621]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing!! I love your voice. 👌

[@virginiathomasakaicedragon6579]

Now I might actually make that because you toasted the bread. All of the other recipes just reminded me of cold stewed tomatoes. My grandpa used to love stewed tomatoes and he would cook the bread in with them. He was born in 1886 so I don't know if that was something from back then or the great depression.

[@woodstream6137]

Never liked cooked tomatoes as a kid but I'm not so fussy now. Mom was making spaghetti and caught her eating the stewed tomatoes out of the can. They were pretty good

[@rhainaweissehexe3899]

That looks delicious 😋 My German Tante used to make my Greek Uncle these beautiful Greek salads. All the recipes look delicious, I love unique salads, must try some of these 👍 ty

[@isobelhosking8338]

Blooming lovely ☺️

[@sharakirkby2744]

Delicious as usual😊💖

[@bearsnevergiveup]

"Probably grew up in a household that had really dull knives." That is some next level culinary profiling.

[@coolbabe4940]

Looks great Chef as a true village style authentic Greek salad. I still add in when all is said and done, different types of teared lettuce. . Don’t hate on me please.

[@annavk7672]

Honestly this is a life saving video 🙈💕

[@belindajardim3145]

Wow this was really some great tips🙌🥰🥦🥬🥒🌶

[@yellowsubmarine615]

I love you chef John

[@tracyblakeley2709]

Great mustard salad dressing with a nice kick!

[@Anthony-ym6iz]

Love the recipes - I'd add some smoked and crispy lardons to the second (Brutus) salad for sure.

[@kevinbrady6075]

Chef John,you are never boring,or your recipes!Manga! :-)

[@afazi55]

a joy to warch! :)

[@patcavasin5947]

These look so good, especially with warmer weather here. Can't wait to make the egg roll in a bowl. I will have to skip smashing a cuke...I much prefer old fashioned cukes and sour cream....a family favorite. Thanks for the recipes.

[@charmainek3128]

Everything looks So Gooooooooooood😋🍽🥑

[@rashaunjones1027]

This looks good

[@maven256]

To slice cherry tomatoes, sandwich them in a single layer between two dinner plates, one normal and one inverted, and then run your sharp knife between the two plates, keeping gentle pressure on the top inverted plate.

[@catzkeet4860]

Ummm no. What a palaver just to chop a few tomatoes in half. I hate “hacks” that are more trouble than doing things the oldfashioned way.

[@kimcorcoran7495]

AMAZE-Balls! :))) Thank you!

[@johnpontaoe3637]

I like eating leftovers of an accomplished recipe, while watching Chef John videos for ideas what next to cook. While recovering from Hurricane Katrina, was a TV commercial to boost Louisiana tourism - a local had said something like: "When we eat breakfast, we talk about lunch; and when we eat lunch, we talk about dinner!"

[@Shinika01]

you could remove the seeds inside the cucumber to remove most of water (and biterness)

[@lindainparis7349]

I always remove seeds too!

[@beecee9681]

Thank you.

[@renees766]

I LOVE salad!!

[@dianalee3059]

I wanna make all these!!

[@elizabethpearson1205]

You are, after all, the geek squad of your Big Fat Greek Salad!!!

[@soughtafterhealthyfood]
