"Deez nuts are done". Only Chef John can pull it off with such panache

[@kevinhale4921]

I so agree

[@foodwishes]

Well, I was really hoping this salad would go viral, which of course would make it the first viral salad in KZbin history, but anyway, maybe start spamming your friends and family with the link, and we'll see what happens. Or, casually work it into the conversation during one of these Zoom sessions. ;) Hope everyone is doing well, and staying safe!!

On behalf of all of us ~7 people who actually go out of their way to find salad recipes online, thank you!

[@carolinemcgovern8059]

Thank you.

Babish did Salad Caprese today, so I think salads are trending and you're ahead of the curve!

Love a good salad! We do something similar Chef John; Rocket/red onion/blueberries/toasted walnuts/prosciutto/blue cheese/dijon vinigarette, just delicious!

"To properly toss a salad, fingers and hands are best" Well said, Chef John. I'll remember that advice

[@vickis.9363]

I caught that. He's a sly dog.

[@PurringMyrrh]

Shout out to all the salad tossers out there.

[@JoeAuerbach]

I, too, could not hear anything else.

[@FeliussRexx]

Deeze nuts are done if you use your hands and fingers.

[@insertclevername4123]

Sure, it's good advice, but there are already so many videos online that teach the technique, so was another one really necessary?

[@billiabuscricketeer8149]

I've been eating these since I spent a summer working as a Commis in a French restaurant in my early twenties. Absolutely my favourite salad, thanks for bringing it to the masses!

[@Schimz2832]

At first I didn't like the ingredients but when I saw it put together it looked appetizing.

George Thomas agreed! Ha!

[@cookingupafeastuk5964]

That’s the best looking salad I’ve ever seen looks lovely

[@justal4844]

John, here’s to helping this salad go viral. Made it with Asian beef riblets tonight and the flavors well-balanced the meal. Delicious!

[@heersyal2454]

Only my all time favourite salad, added with that apple or pear, is heavenly! Chef, that well-worn bowl speaks of much loved cooking, and I'm glad we got to see that!

[@johndouglas3622]

Regardless of the pending pandemic circumstances and quarantines.... John..., your channel and delivery has become a comfort I cannot express...... bordering on an addiction. A distraction perhaps but, I come to food tutorials I can cook for loved ones, I can! My take-away from your glorious channel is... humor, taste, and most of all, love. My deepest. Deepest gratitude. ( a front of the house friend) John

[@robyn3252]

I find the dry humor in your cooking videos to be quite magnetizing. Is that a word?

[@lynnwilhoite6194]

It is now!

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Or "mesmerizing...". Is that the word you were searching for? :)

[@tegansutherland7299]

Chef John, being trapped home with little access to fresh greens... I am craving this salad something fierce. It looks So Good. I like your dressing recipe too! I'll have to try it out. And you can always go on about food science and menu design -- always happy to learn more!

[@Moerp100]

Just for the record: try grilling radicchio so the outside really sears/almost chars. It's amazing.

[@fei6664]

Wasn't expecting a "Deez Nuts" joke XD

[@crgii8472]

I am always looking for salad recipes! Especially since I”ll be making your Portuguese lemon tarts! Thank you!!!

[@veecee3669]

Oh Chef John, this is truly a gorgeous salad! Two of my favorite salad greens together. Especially Belgian endive with the blue cheese; a match made in heaven. Adding pear or apple, or even peaches in the summer (maybe almonds with peaches) and some grilled chicken, scrumptious! I also like to add just a bit of honey to the dressing, to counteract the bitterness of the greens; the honey also works as an emulsifier. Thanks for a terrific recipe, and stay safe!

[@BobvanVelzen]

Great! My mom always makes this with a little red beet, and some green apple in there!

[@c.annettew6901]

You are good at that pan flipping. I almost threw my chicken wings against the back of the stove. I went back to the tongs. You're an expert.

[@elzbthp67]

This looks incredibly, beautifully delicious!! Yum!

[@patriciavincent5076]

Love it! Blue cheese has been my go to delicious treat during this time!

[@jeffreyleeper]

Was disappointed to see a salad video until I saw the 4:1 blue cheese to greens ratio, the perfect ratio for any salad I must say

[@jamesdooling4139]

I've been in quarantine so long that for the last three days I have been craving worthless, watery, bland salad greens! All I've eaten for a week is meat and potatoes. I'm going insane for a pea, a lettuce, or a brassica... Help me. Jesus, help me.

[@IeshiAke]

"Who the heck goes online to watch salad videos?" ... Does 16 year old me watching Salad Fingers count?

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

[@k8eekatt]

Still creeps me out 😞

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

ieshi akerman Salad fingers isn't a salad though

[@TemplarTate]

I think it counts, especially if you like rusty spoons.

[@Iflie]

"Belgian Andive" which we call "witlof" is a staple here in the Netherlands. Eaten fried in butter, in a sauce, out of the oven wrapped in ham and cheese, in a mash, or raw in a salad. In the salad we ad some fruit, my mom always used apple but at a friend's house they used a can of mixed fruits in sweet sirup. I use a mix of mayo, something sour, sugar and mustard as the dressing and onions with the cut up andive. Left alone for a bit for the flavors to mix it's a very addictive taste.

[@ChandlerA2]

This looks absolutely gorgeous. I love the ideas u give us! Thanks for sharing a salad - more veg recipes the better! Especially difficult veg like this ☺️

[@everybodyluvsmonkeys]

I love endive. And I think you are right about using more than 1 type of vinegar. I often combine lemon juice and a vinegar.

Who else is just binge-watching Chef John w/o even looking for a recipe?

[@jizzus3445]

Tipically french salad, you can replace olive oil by wallnut oil, replace Rice vinegar by Apple cider vinegar and add slices of apple From France

My food wish is for more affordable recipes with ingredients easily found in supermarkets. I would love it if you did more regional American dishes.

[@stevevolz2164]

Nice! To make it even better add some ripe pear. Outstanding with Gorgonzola. My all time favourite.

[@taraupchurch9389]

I love radicchio, but find if people don't like the bitter before you core it cut it into quarters and give it a quick grilling. SO good!

[@Setsuraful]

Chef John, pioneering saladology before it was cool.

[@saol18]

I made this tonight. I really like it. Am your biggest fan.

Am I the only one who feels personally admonished when chef John is like, “But don’t.”?

"Aaaaaand, yes, I blocked that one, too." Chef John, you're the bestest!

You are the John Cleese of salads with blue cheese!

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

From "Salt: A World History" by Kurlansky... The word "salad" has "sal" in it, meaning salt. The ancient Romans and Greeks thought they needed to salt their greens to draw poisons out before eating them. One of my favorite books of all time (actually, everything he's ever written).

[@SoidHoid]

I appreciate the local cheese shout out. I hope to run in to you at Community Market some day!

[@elbay2]

"Oops!..." Ha ha ha!, that was a good segue! My first reaction after you mentioned Britney was: 'Hey he already used that one!..'

Omgosh. I just made this. In fact I'm eating it right now. ITS DELICIOUS!!

[@skip123davis]

awesome! i love walnuts and bleu cheese! i like to roast beets and crumble up bleu cheese and roasted walnuts on them. yum! for sure gonna try this.

[@sechay9328]

I've always wondered. Do you edit the eating portions to account for chewing time or can you actually eat super fast and just swallow your food like a duck?

[@TedInATL]

Thanks Chef! This looks right up my alley. BTW, your Caldo Verde has been a lockdown staple around here. We sometimes add a can of beans to make it even more of an immunity boosting super food.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Beans are very healthy, but they aren't known particularly for boosting immunity. They're just nourishing, filling and delicious. And cheap.

[@ayushmanbhowmik2139]

I love you, chef John.

[@LucyVarvatos]

Yum yum!!! This look so good!

[@annajoie700]

You could have just stopped with the Brittany Spears reference, but you went for the double whammy and added in the 'Oops I Did It Again' and that is why I just love you, Chef John. 😂🙌🏼 Is it strange that I was envisioning the taste of this while you were making it.. ?!? 🤔 Also, the addition of some dried cranberries would be awesome with this, as well! 👏🏼

Chef, I know what an epiphany is, what the hell is an epiphion? Some sort of sub-light trans-warp engine that can take us away from a pandemic? "Michelle, hit the epiphion drive, it's gaining on us!" I love you, Chef, please stay perfect.

[@Jimmyjuice88]

These videos are great inspiration for my new channel!

[@kck9742]

"Deez nuts are done" made me laugh way harder than it should have. 🤣

[@Sporting1210]

i have a very similar , since it uses the same salad types, even more decadent recipe with little differences I dissolve honey in silghtly heated, freshly pressed orangjuice as addition to the dressing and also add heated plums (but pears or apples work too), which go GREAT with the blue cheese (i use a Gorgonzola dolce) Ill try this version though, since it is a tad less work and is also a bit lighter aka more summerly peace & love

[@musigalglo]

I laughed out loud at the Brittany joke :D

[@lindainparis7349]

Dear Chef John, the Greatest, greetings from France. Toasted walnuts made all the difference ! BTW I always save juiced lemon halves to rub on my beech chopping boards to sterilise, wadja think ? Please also merchandise cayenne shaker. Just for fun.

[@irian42]

Blue Cheese, Radicchio and Chicory? Wow, Chef John is testing my faith in him! Funky and bitter is normally not really my thing. But then --- when has HE ever failed me?!

[@fourthgirl]

Chef John knows we can handle it. Give it a try.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

I'm sorry, Forthgirl... l really can't stand bitter foods. I've tried. Whether it's bitter greens, beer, bitter gourd, Brussels sprouts, watercress, even grapefruit, it's extremely bitter to me, and nothing masks it or makes it better in my mouth. I wish I was more sophisticated about this, but I just can't eat the stuff. Even though I know that bitter is one of the five flavors in Chinese cooking, that it's healthy, and also that bitter herbs help cleanse the liver... I have a real aversion to them. But I can still make Chef's dressing, and put it on my own salads including all his other add-ins!

[@Dax893]

That mixing bowl has been through some stuff. Good stuff.

[@CositosKitchen]

I normally don't even eat salads, and my ow my I might have to try this on the channel!👌🏾

[@cornpop8586]

What if I don't like blue cheese? What is a good substitute?

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

If you must, choose something salty, has umami, intense, buttery and crumbly. How about a real Greek feta (one that uses sheep's milk).

[@26muca07]

My late father used to complain about salads he'd compare eating salad and going to a brothel to pay for a hug were the same thing...

[@jhwheuer]

This is borderline heresy: I quarter my radicchio and -then- remove the trunk... let the flame wars begin.

[@Shroomunati]

That is in fact 50% better

[@jellybeansbud3610]

That’s what I do too.

[@kck9742]

I just skip the radicchio altogether -- it's bitter and nasty. I suppose it's used mainly because of the lovely color it adds... can't think of any other reason to do so. Guess maybe I should trust Chef John that the dressing transforms it into something edible.

[@davidcarbone3385]

Yum!!! Yes, pears would be awesome and apples would be good, too

[@melindamayhew6223]

Looks Good !

[@damien1781]
