Green Lightning Bowl- our favorite!

[@SuperBookdragon]

Here's a cooking hack for chopping greens. Place your greens with a lot of water in your Vitamix ...use the pulse option and pulse until the greens are chopped how you prefer . Strain water out. You have both washed your greens and chopped them. I have never gone back to traditional knife chopping off my greens ... I eat more greens now !

[@dogcatfamily2476]

Brilliant!!!! I can't wait to try this. I hate chopping greens. Thank you.

[@eilidpatt1011]

Glad I read this!! Ty

[@wintergreengal]

Thank you for this idea 💡 can’t wait to try

[@jenniferstewart5849]

And don’t let it turn into a green smoothie 😂

[@theresatyree3904]

Seems like your water would turn green? And if the water turns green, you’re dumping out vitamins and minerals

[@Susianna74]

I like how real u ladies are. No Food Network here. Just real people making real food. I just discovered u guys. Amazing!

[@utexasnurse5401]

I love your mom! “This is a pathetic little dish” 😂 she’s right on!!

[@mindjoystudio6436]

You can't "act" like you guys on purpose. That's how I know you two are really REAL. So funny. So much character. And this looks really GOOD. Thanks for making this video.

[@Jeannified]

This is my type of kitchen! I love everything about it! So much better than the streamlined, sterile looking kitchens that seem to be the flavor of the moment! Love this channel! You and your mom are great! :-)

[@FunUrth]

😊

[@marilynrose7318]

I never realized I’d be laughing out loud at cooking videos! Ann absolutely cracks me up! Totally enjoying watching all of these.

[@blairnowell1475]

From a chef (not me), the cilantro stems have the most flavor of the plant!💚

[@shazbee4004]

I was a little scared to try this dish as I’m not the biggest kale fan. So, i chopped the kale super fine and I also crumbled and marinated the tofu. I cooked the tofu for a long time, which made it nice and crunchy. This is honestly one of the best salads I have ever had. I would have eaten the whole bowl if my stomach would have let me!

[@karendeeble121]

You two make my day. You make me laugh out loud so much, especially Ann.. I love her! You two have such a good mother/daughter relation and cook such wholesome food. I have your heart healthy cookbook but may buy Engine 2 cookbook after seeing this recipe cooked. Thanks for being so natural and not trying to be perfect like so many other You tubers... it is refreshing. keep them coming.

[@margaretpelaitai5868]

You two are so precious together it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you both so much.

[@sciencelabvideosl7558]

I just made this dressing sans garlic and jalapeño. It tasted like a Japanese dressing at a Japanese restaurant. . It was sooooo wonderful. I did not measure the ingredients . I just combined them. I used iceberg lettuce and I must confess I used grilled chicken breast - I am trying to transition slowly to wfpb. No more oily dressings for me!

[@wfhalsey1]

Ann is on point with the cilantro stems, I always include them. They are tender and flavorful, just chop more if you want them smaller.

[@JPMasonDun]

I like the way you avoid wheat flour. I’m gluten intolerant, so I am so happy to find plant based recipes without wheat flour. So I am buying your cookbooks.

[@kathymckim8255]

I have just started a plant based lifestyle. I love watching the two of you. You are a great inspiration. Keep it up. 🥰

[@fruitascension5089]

I can't believe I have been doing my lemons and limes upside down in that juicer too! Omg lol 😂🤣 This is a game-changer for me, haha

[@ironrose888]

I bought this cookbook for this one recipe and I like the other recipes also. This recipe is the BOMB! 😆🤩

[@steelmagnolia76]

I love this recipe too! It’s the dirtiest page in the book because it’s been used so many times, 🤣. We use spinach instead of kale, and throw in a few pistachios. 😋

[@l.lalala3455]

Ottolenghi made a similar with pistachios as well

[@donnatecce1884]

Can someone tell me the measurement of maple syrup and tamari for the tofu? My book is on its way. Thx all!!

[@Junebugreen]

Never take the pit out of your avocado by holding the fruit in your hand. Emergency rooms deal with injuries from this avocado pitting technique all the time! Please at least lay your avocado on the cutting board, then you can hack at it. Never hack toward your hand! JANE PLEASE READ THIS TO SAVE INJURIES. Thanks!

[@nataliebanks4140]

OMG, I think I’ve found my new favourite channel! You are a Dynomite Duo! It would normally be rude to ask but I think in both your cases it’s more of a compliment, is there any video where tou tell us your chronological ages? Because the energy and vitality of you both, OMG, you seem like you are both in your 30’s!! You are both a walking, talking, LONG TERM advertisement for this way of life and I am so grateful to see it because it shows me what I might be like in the long run! THANK YOU BOTH!

[@sn232]

"This is a pathetic little dish" LOL...love it!!! It looks delicious!

[@tinafritz4406]

I love this dish! I add sweet potato to it, which complements all the flavors in it.

[@mairzeedotes5484]

Do you add cooked and diced sweet potato, or what?

[@tinafritz4406]

Mairzee Dotes yes! I cook sweet potatoes in my instapot then cut them into bite sized pieces and add them in.

[@darleneupham5670]

I haven't liked tofu in the past but this recipe has changed my mind! This was delicious and refreshing. The only substitution I used was one lemon instead of two limes. Next time, I'll dry the tofu more thoroughly so it'll get crisp.

[@inlovewithhealth]

This looks fantastic. All I could think while watching was to add thinly sliced cabbage, julienne red bell peppers, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions. I am going to make this soon. You guys are so fun to watch.

[@sueannwbogue4932]

This salad/dressing combo is da’bomb! OMG I have shared this at so many dinners with family and friends and they all want the recipe. A game changer for sure! Thank you Jane & Ann! Love you guys and your recipes!

[@ACCER]

This was great. Your mom is adorable! I loved watching the two of you together.,,,,I found this on accident and I may actually try this recipe and I'm not even Vegan!

[@barbaralevine9048]

This was the most delicious dish! It is so helpful when you demo a recipe from the books. I always want to make everything after I see you two do it! I didn’t have tofu or avocados tonight but I added a diced up peach and threw in a can of chickpeas. Everything is better with your lightning sauce!!

[@NLR759]

chickpeas is a fantastic idea instead of the tofu! You could even roast them with the dressing on to make them crispy.

[@barbaralevine9048]

lydiaD777 roasting the chickpeas is a wonderful idea!

[@hortensejones4050]

Oh thank you! I’m allergic to soy & already am having too much avocado! Thanks so much for the subs!👍🌿✅🌿😊😊😊

[@LaurenVacula]

Your videos with your mom make me so happy. It's incredible to see your bond together, hanging out while making plant meals. Now I want to go hang out with my mom 💙

[@brendaewing7259]

Found the recipe😀 you didn’t include the green onions….I’m glad I found the recipe because the green onions are great in the bowl.

[@michele588]

you two are a hoot! your mom looks like my mom who i lost 4 yrs ago-she was 93 and tonight i had the blues and was thinking abt her. Anyway this video came up in my feed and i was giggling at both of you and smiling :) I just subscribed,liked and shared it with my sister and on twitter!

[@januaryjewel4008]

Jane, ironically I had tofu marinating with a similar sauce in the fridge and after watching your enthusiasm about this being your all time favorite. I had to make it. Oh my goodness!! First bite everyone said “Oh my...” several times. My son went on and on. This is going to be a regular go to recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!! You two are so much fun to watch.

[@michele588]

@januaryjewel was the tofu creamy inside? or did it taste like "meat"? thx

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Ordered the cook book after watching this and made this last night. It was amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@norak5767]

I ordered the book after this video as well! Many good recipes in it! Thank you Jane and Ann so much! And I have to thank Rip as well!

[@sciencelabvideosl7558]

This dressing is soooooo dang good! Best dressing ever. Zing is the right word!

[@WhatTheySkipped]

One of our favorites! Made it last night!We sub cubed eggplant for the tofu, steam the kale and serve everything warm!

[@lorrihernandez341]

Thanks for the great idea of substituting eggplant for the tofu!

[@luvslyfe1]

Thank you for the sub suggestion. I am allergic to soy, so this may be a great fit!

[@hopewhite3445]

)0 l

[@pamwalmsley1865]

Wish you would have added the oven temp. and duration but looks great

[@hortensejones4050]

I’m allergic to soy AND have diverticulitis so no tofu or eggplant but you helped me realize zucchini will work! Thank you!

[@laurapcat]

Love this recipe! I baked my tofu in my air fryer..faster and a bit too warm today in Chicago to turn the oven on. Thanx!

[@wonderwoman5528]

Don’t know how this video got recommended to me but I’m so glad it did. The recipe looks delicious! Your relationship is adorable and I love how you filmed it with no edit from start to finish so we can follow along at home. Big love from uk :)

[@halverson396]

You two are so cute working together. This salad looks great!

[@annemeasures2164]

Ladies thank you for such a joyous way to start the day.

[@tamsondarland8951]

Love your videos. I purchased your beautiful Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook. Love Love Love. Hope to purchase all other Cookbooks. Thank you so much for your beautiful recipes. Wonderful sharing nutritional information. Love you Both. Love Tamson from Kentucky 🦋

[@kirbykristinalawson5293]

Made tonight and all I can say is it’s outstanding!!! Thank you for recipe!! Will be making again.

[@bhavnasoni711]

Oh wow,looks so yummy, little bit of preparation but its worth it. Thank you ladies.

[@7Jennifer]

This is such a versatile dish. So many ways via veg that you could switch it up.

[@brianparent4882]

My favorite duo on KZbin

[@deborahbergen493]

I hope I’m not repeating myself! My Mother In Law was visiting and she did the same thing. Used it the wrong way. I was cracking up when I showed her the right way. I laughed and laughed 🤭 She was really surprised. Making this tonight ! Between you and Two Dads. I will make it delicious 😋

[@tkmoniker2448]

I enjoy ya’lla videos so much. Very informative and entertaining!

[@deborahbergen493]

I've been enjoying watching you two all morning. We are in quarantine...I got so hungry....I'm eating a potato with sauted kale. Soo good. So cute she was using that the wrong way. My mother in law was doing that here one afternoon..she was like I never liked these..I said your doing it the wrong way..she was quite surprised when I showed her how easy it is when using it correctly..good times, good memories, last but not least..good food. Thanks for sharing and doing all you do. We love you.

[@chazchillings3019]

When I lived in the dongbei area (liaoning) my school’s cafeteria served a cold tofu celery dish. I just loved it.

[@joannashelton3253]

i’m so stingy, after i squeeze each half in the citrus press i put the two halves in, on their sides, facing each other, and squeeze again. i usually get at least another teaspoon or two of juice! thanks for another great recipe-i love you guys!

[@lizziedripping71]

And then I save the used pieces to freshen up my microwave 🤪

[@joannashelton3253]

LizzieDripping i’ll have to start rubbing them in my armpits!! haha...

[@vanislegirl81]

Great tips ladies! Although I’m a little less excited to try the armpit suggestion 🤣

[@jeanilong4916]

You're not stingy, you're frugal! Excellent tip, thank you!

[@slowbutscattered1567]

Tip: if you don't have a lemon or line juicer, you can always use a fork. You just put the fork in the half cut lemon or lime and twist and squeeze. Works great. You just need a little elbow grease for it to work.

[@Slavocean]

You guys seriously are the cutest!!! You warm my heart one video at a time!! God bless you! ❤️

[@deedeemac]

My mouth is watering!!! Hint: for ginger, I wrap it in plastic wrap then foil and keep it in the freezer. When I need to grate it I peel a bit of the skin off and use the microplane zester. Awesome!!!

[@fbs1917]

This has become my new dressing. I make a large batch & bottle to have available. Thank you.

[@jenniferspaulding5652]

I happened across this video again and made this recipe with what I had on hand. I subbed the brown rice noodles for chickpea pasta, and the kale for a box of arugula! (These subbed items are what I had on hand). But, wow! What a great recipe!!!! 👍 I will be making this again and again! So yummy tasty! Thank you so much for your videos because I need these. I'm a visual learner. Thank you 😊 💓

[@coreenwalker9286]

Sounds so good. I'm going to make this using Japanese sweet potatoes in place of the tofu since I'm on the Engine 2 7-Day Rescue.

[@janetahlersmeyer7796]

Great idea!

[@grose3996]

You two are so adorable, and this recipe looks amazing! Thank you.

[@wfhalsey1]

Great idea! And you can collect the strained water for plant watering!

[@rheamorales1329]

I have the genetics where cilantro leaves taste horribly, yet the finely chopped cilantro stems are good. I liked the idea of subbing basil, as mentioned initially.

[@phatmonkey11]

Made this today. Added broccoli. Pretty good.

[@claranimmer7349]

Some people cannot taste cilantro. They taste soap. I use parsley when I know there will be someone who only tastes soap. This salad is something for Sunday. 😄

[@mrtyday1]

Even though I swore I would not buy another cookbook, it looked so good I immediately downloaded the kindle Engine 2 Cookbook so that I could make it. My husband and I absolutely loved it and ate the leftovers for a snack this morning. The dressing is just delicious. Since I like to mark up cookbooks, I ordered the hard back copy of this same cookbook and will use the kindle version when we are on vacation. Although not having heart disease, The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease is my go-to cookbook and love every recipe I have made. You really can't go wrong with recipes from the Esselstyn family. They know how to make healthy plant based meals. Thank you!

[@haou132]

Excellent ! Merci beaucoup ! Hi! From France !!

[@sandyyoung7417]

I made this after watching your video about 3 weeks ago and we have had it every week since. It is my new favorite! Sooooo good!

[@patriciacarroll2902]

i Like this so much I have it all the time and everyone I have shared it with loves it too. So thanks

[@juliepayn7696]

Love watching you two. Ann is so funny and real.

[@malaplava4865]

😆 i just found this page and you two are so darn cute. I am working from home and watching your awesome show. Very informative and entertaining 🤗😍

[@janellemcpherson1731]

This was amazing and I could totally eat this cold for breakfast too Jane!!!

[@deniseriner7165]

I’ve got to get this cookbook! This (and all your recipes) look absolutely amazing. 😊

[@charlotteiliu]

The two girls are just looking lovely!! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!

[@deegeraghty3421]

Complicated, time-consuming recipe but looks delicious. Great for sharing with others, when eating with family, friends.

[@prizzyhoney]

I just joined and have learned soooo much. Thank you ladies 🙏

[@ginafrey2203]

This was absolutely delish! I used maple flavored balsamic because I was out of maple syrup and it turned out great. Thank you Jane and Ann !

[@aprilrobinson7859]

This comment is meant with love so I hope it is received well, but you two are the real life Dorthy and Sophia lol The Golden Girls is my favorite show. This salad looks good.

[@elizabethduhn5214]

I made this last night and IT IS AMAZING!!! I will definitely be putting this into my weekly rotation. My husband doesn’t like tofu and he was eating it off the pan before I could even mix it. The warm tofu on top is really good. Thank you!!!

[@SarahAD93]

This has been a staple in our house ever since the E2 cookbook came out! We make it at least twice a month or more, just made it last night actually. So good!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Love you two ladies! I wish I’d had such a good relationship with my mum... Got to try this lightning recipe! Greetings from the UK.

[@nikolinarusev4279]

I love your show! And you are both so lovely and very fortunate to have each other

[@josephwilliams4650]

Wow wow wee. Just made this for supper and my life is forever divided into before GLB 💚⚡️🥗 and after

[@bethcampagna9764]

The Green lightening bowl is my favorite!!!

[@tropicalbliss2077]

I made this and it is awesome!! Thank You so much for sharing this! No joke... this is a lot of work, but as Jane says.. it’s worth it and it will be up there on the list of favs for something so healthy and great tasting!! 💛

[@kindcounselor]

I just love Anne's comments!She is so ultimately honest! Thank you Ann! ( also I'm not a cilantro eater...her alternative suggestions make this dish possible for me).

[@mlrmu68]

I made this one today and it was delicious. Thank you!

[@roxyc5345]

Four mins in....and subscribed, mamma bear is my new inspiration, wanna be as healthy and spritely as she is...love, from Aus...xx

[@dianacollinson2424]

Ann, I am the same kind of Fan of the Citrus Reamer, for all the same reasons🤣

[@barbaraszabo3413]

I'm making this! And I love the way you both are so down to earth.

[@lisahartl7878]

I just so happened to have the ingredients and made this last night - it sounded like strange...but oh wow the flavors are SO GOOD! Thank you Jane and Ann!

[@barbararunge5378]

Finally got around to making this today and I'm forever changed! My new best salad ever!! Thanks for sharing.

[@seamuswarren]

We can also crumble the tofu. I love that clip of the Doc saying “It’s the oil. It’s the oil. One more time: It’s the oil.” 🤪 “We have so much bald fruit.” 😂

[@mistytillema2398]

I have the Engine 2 cookbook, and haven’t tried this recipe yet. I know what’s for dinner tomorrow night! 😄

[@eilidpatt1011]

Holy smokes!!! This was MARVELOUS!!! I had it yesterday, but I have leftovers for today and can’t wait to dig in again!!

[@123lou4444]

Love it...... Thanks :) I have been following your dad's video's for many years now, and recently discovered your fun creative video's :)

[@carolinedgrimm1518]

We made this one for supper tonight. Ten stars. Four thumbs up. Ka-boom. And YUM! Added some edamame to the recipe because I had some to use. 🌿⚡

[@Pocketsnuggies]

Love your new haircut, Jane!

[@mysunnypie]

This dish looks incredible! Thanks for the entertaining video, you both are awesome!

[@Josie-qn9zp]

Everything about this bowl is SO YUMMY! I make it at least 1/week

[@cinderellatremaine5144]

Just made this salad tonight for the first time. All I could think about as I cut the tofu was making sure my squares were small enough and the same size. 😂 Oh my goodness! I’m making this once a week! My new all time favorite! I used a baby kale but next time I want to try arugula. The baby kale was amazing but arugula is my favorite. Thank y’all so much for sharing. I bought the ebook but I’m also getting a hard copy.

[@brendafarris7350]

Sounds great! I LOVe all the things in this salad! Can't wait to make it!

[@maudesteel113]

Going to go home to make some.Thanks for the recipe and entertainment. Your mom is darling!

[@christiannaughton1458]

Making this tomorrow! Looks amazing! I love the way you cooked your tofu 😃

[@Delta1Duck]

What a great team you are!.. thank you for sharing this recipe

[@ubercatta]

I agree with Anne a nice Italian parsley would be a great replacement for cilantro.

[@kelleybeld5397]

I bought the Engine 2 cookbook for this recipe - it is sooo good I have made it several times and is going on regular rotation. I did notice you guys forgot the green onion when you were making it - Jane said she knew the recipe by heart and forgot them!

[@rp1672]

I have the book, but haven't made this yet and am kicking myself for it. Looks so delicious!
