I Tried Viral TIKTOK Recipes & Made Them VEGAN! (Grinder Sandwich & "Jennifer Aniston" Salad)

[@citiesandcats]

Rose, the Turkish version of this salad (kisir) is made with bulgur+tomato paste+pepper paste, and then all the other stuff added (cucumber, onion, parsley, etc). It's really far superior! The tomato paste is a real game changer and gives it its colour. I highly recommend you try it, it's perfect for picnics, office lunches, potlucks, and even hangovers in my opinion!

[@KateLJ1799]

I fully agree with this! Kisir is amazing! I also add garlic, mint leaves, cumin, paprika, and then the dressing is the same as in the video except you do pomegranate molasses instead of the dijon mustard. It goes nice in romaine lettuce leaves or pitta bread.

[@taniat.16]

Im eating my fav salad of the moment and its romaine lettuce, quinoa, diced tomato, lil bit of finely diced onion OR minced garlic, shredded whole carrot, dried mint, cumin, black pepper, fresh lime/lemon juice (half of one) and tahini. Mint and cumin are so good together.

[@tracy9610]

I love tabouli salad; I will have to try the kisir, it sounds delicious 😋

[@citiesandcats]

@@KateLJ1799 I also use pepper of all sorts (yesterday I used "isot"), including black pepper, and use whatever greens I have on hand(arugula in yesterday's) as well cubes of tomatoes or cherry tomatoes! I'm more of a lemon/salt/olive oil gal myself :) I find that bulgur is sufficient as a carb, I dont' need to put it in pita bread, but yeah romain lettuce is good.

[@citiesandcats]

@@tracy9610 Kisir > Tabouleh, in my humblest of opinions, haha

[@sandynatarajan1145]

I had the exact same problem opening that vegan feta. I too thought I bought a defective package, so I'm glued to the video as you kept peeling back the top layer. I don't understand what they were thinking when they came up with this packaging. I just came on here to tell you that, surprisingly, I think they all come like that! Huge fan of your podcast with Daniel and this KZbin channel. Thank you for all the awesome content and entertainment!!

[@MrsSheffield]

You can also substitute the chickpeas for any other bean or lentil. You can add sundried tomatoes and olives like Rose mentioned. And lemon juice and/or apple cider or red wine vinegar. Great base recipe that you can experiment with! 😊

cut the cucumber lengthways in to strips and then cube it, it’s so much faster x

[@nishar272]

thought exactly the same 😁🤓

[@sharit7970]

Looks good... even if she never ate it...people have nothing better to do than start rumors....Thanks for trying this out for us! *Tip* in case you've never tried it...to cool off pasta, rice, quinoa quickly; scoop it out on a couple of dinner plates [or cookie sheets] so it's in a thin layer. It will cool to room temp FAST. I do this all the time; the only down side is it makes a couple extra things to wash, but it works great.

[@hederahelix4600]

I've never seen anyone put the ingredients to a salad dressing directly on a salad without mixing it first. If it works, this is such a great idea. Will have to try it. Worried about the mustard not mixing well, though.

[@Gerifan04]

I sometimes do this. Just depends on my mood and how much I care to use another dish for mixing haha. But I will say if you do just dump everything in best to put them right on top of each other. I feel that way they automatically mix a bit better starting from the same point.

[@hederahelix4600]

@@Gerifan04 I did try it twice by now. It worked great on a coleslaw and somehow I did exactly what you said, put them on top of each other and mixed the sauce a little before mixing it into the salad. With a vinaigrette for a leafy salad this does not work though. The oil and vinegar never properly emulsified so this was a watery soggy mess. Will try a joghurt based dressing next.

[@laureenjohnson5570]

Well, I'm salivating.....can't wait to try both!! If I eat plant based cheese, Violife is the best I have tasted.

[@isabelrodriguez523]

[@Kathryn721]

Yum, that sando looks delish! And so true about how far vegan foods have come! Back when I was a kid in the 70's there was this hamburger substitute called "Love Burger". It tasted like dog food! And there was no such thing as vegan cheese yet.

[@phillippinter7518]

For people that live in the middle or west coast of the US. Pepperoncini is just an other word of banana peppers. I had never heard the word "banana pepper" until I confused the people in the subway assembly line on the east coast by asking for pepperoncinis on my sandwich.

[@taniat.16]

I was just wondering what it was thank you

[@ourtubesocks]

No they are different peppers. Banana peppers are slightly sweeter than pepperocini, but pretty similar.

[@phillippinter7518]

@@ourtubesocks well they call the same peppers different names in the same chains in different places. Even if they are different, then some people must be mislabeling them, but things get mislabeled all the time

[@missmakoti9702]

Thx for the vegan recipes. About the chickpeas, Jennifer has a point, legumes contain anti nutrients, some of which makes it difficult to digest and can make you bloated and gassy. Therefore it is adviced to soak, sprout or ferment legumes to make digestion easier. People with sibo or other gutproblems can’t eat legumes because of the digestion problems.

[@ewidontlikeyou]

[@KateLJ1799]

Ikr it's crazy what she said about the chickpeas hahaha. Beans are soooo good for your digestion and your gut microbiome too. She probably eats lean meats like chicken and fish like salmon, stuff like that which are considered healthy but have no fibre in them and don't really contribute to the state of your gut at all.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

This is why we should never trust celebrities when they talk about health and nutrition 😅😅😅

Listen: You may have issues with digesting legumes, sucks to be you, I believe you, I know that some people have, but there's a very clear difference between calling something unhealthy because "it's not good for anybody's gut" like sugars i.e. or having an intolerance to certain foods that may not be ideal for YOUR gut. If you don't get that, your gut problems definitely are to be neglected because there's something rotten up there.

This looks really good! Thank you for making this a vegan option 💛 Been a long time fan of yours and your vid of "How to Cook Tofu Like a BOSS" really changed my tofu game ❤️ I want to share something in regards to what you said about eating the same thing over and over again. As someone with ADHD, I find trying new recipes challenging because of the required focus, executive functioning skills and also the stress of sensory input new foods and textures. It's not that I don't want to or get that eating a variety of foods if benefitial for your health. Im super interested in different foods and how they combine to taste SO GOOD - its just that my body and brain physically don't process and go with that as well as I'd like them to. In periods of muchostresso I tend to watch videos like these to satisfy my culinary curiosity 😂 ... also, tl;dr: I tend to eat the same thing over and over again bc its easier to function in everyday life if I can autopilot my foods 😅
