The Brutus Salad - How to Make America's Next Caesar Salad

[@foodwishes]

Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/258805/The-Brutus-Salad/

[@MegaDevilmaycare]

The square dish is called a trencher. In medieval times rich people used to put a slice of bread under their food to sop up the juices, then feed it to the poor as an act of charity.

[@bethbartlett5692]

How did I miss this? Oh this is going to be good. I'm going to alter down 5 notches - but it will be Delicious - Love troasted nuts - in about anything. This salad is going to taste so wonderful. OMG - I may have to go to the store at 10:30 pm - that means next town over - Dixie - Tennessee, USA. 🇺🇸

[@juliuscaesar5397]

Oh no you better not.

[@obsidian4844]

i love the name.

[@HexIsme]

I watch just as much for the humor as I do for the food.

[@tootz1950]

We all do, Chef John is great

[@polarweis]

Hex Isme hi

[@jamesmiller2250]

A rectangular wooden tableware item, whether flat or concave, is called a Trencher. You're welcome.

[@kirkf1tz]

Chef John! YOU are the pleaser of my Caesar!

[@StrikeFromTheSkies]

More like plyser

[@Exxalted]

Get out of that, uuuuuhh, Jabroni outfit

[@mikeb4127]

Kirk, do you mean Chef john is the plaesar of your Caesar?

[@rainbroanderson9413]

Bro i laughed so hard at this

[@noahpurdy3899]

Any salad is a Caesar salad if you stab it enough

[@nrrork]

I finally learned how to make Caesar salad-- but I had to take quite a few stabs at it first.

[@shannonpearson4416]

😆😆😆😅😅😅

[@seikibrian8641]

Here's a bit a trivia: the Caesar Salad isn't Italian, let alone Roman. It was created by Caesar Cardini, a restaurateur who had restaurants in San Diego and Tijuana, and a hotel in Tijuana. Although it dates to the 1920s, it did not become widely known until 1945, when a writer for the New York Times introduced it to New Yorkers.

[@JennaArthur12186]

Just so you know when im cranky then watch your videos, they really make me smile. I love learning new recipes on here. You are funny and relate-able! My favorite cooking channel.

Happy Ides of March!

[@ER1CKSON]

I got kicked out of the store for opening and smelling all the dijon.

[@vespermartini2556]

[@Gabesafish]

Beat me to it!

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

This salad looks amazing. I love a lot of stuff in my salad, so this is perfect for me! I agree, along side a grilled piece of chicken or pork would be great! Since you "borrowed" this from someone else, I may "borrow" it from you! Thanks for the continued inspiration!

[@orion8835]

Fabulous salad this!! Wow. I do apples in salad all the time.

[@littlestbroccoli]

My first mind-blowing salad was a nicoise served at an elementary school camp in San Francisco. It was truly shocking salad could be so good. I'm sure Brutus will not disappoint.

[@wandasetzer1469]

Usually I start drooling about two minutes into Chef John's videos. Thank you, Chef John, for making such delicious food.

[@animalmother556x45]

......watching a Food Wishes video....and get a notification of a new Food Wishes video. What a world we live in. (was watching the corn pudding episode by the way....my batch is in the oven) EDIT------ If you like corn....MAKE...THE FRIGGING...CORN PUDDING

[@RealMisterDoge]

hell yeah man, love that feeling Also let me know how the corn pudding turns out, I'm super interested in giving it a try myself but I've never had corn pudding before so I dunno if I'd like it

[@animalmother556x45]

[@jillj1094]

omg please do a Cassius salad!! it has to be even more bitter, less sweet, full of jealousy and hatred compared to the Brutus salad

[@AgentChanelAlmighty]

jilly jolly 😂😂😂😭😭

[@billgrandone3552]

Why not a Cleopatra salad?. It's mostly asp-ic!

[@vk1087]

Bill Grandone But it must go well with a Marc Antony!

[@qillerdaemon9331]

Or a Cicero salad based in some way on chickpeas. His name comes from the Latin word for the chickpea.

[@cmonkey63]

I don't know, it might have a "lean and hungry look".

[@jimmyyounis8543]

Wow! Already had created the same salad with exactly same dressing seven years ago with one major difference: without peacon nuts (sugar was added to the dressing) and I only used slices of green apples no red ones. The rest pretty much the same. Once or twice I added sticks of wild cucumber and once I added slices green tomatos..both additions were amazing and unique!

[@jeffhuse1419]

Is it a Caesar salad you eat with a knife?

[@Valkyriee686]

Jeff Huse Winner

[@chrisweldon6076]

Et tu, jeff?

[@jezebel324]

I have always hated this salad, Chef John, and yet, YOU have convinced me to give it a try at home! You just make it look appetizing!

[@cheeksnlee213]

Thank you for this salad recipe, Chef John! It has been brutally hot in Los Angeles and I can't bring myself to fire up the stove. This is getting made this week! ❤️

[@CologneCarter]

That is first world problems for you. Here in Cologne/Germany it is so brutally hot I can't bring myself to leave the house for salad and apples. So I either have to drink the dressing or fire up the stove for some nice stir fry. In case you don't know a/c isn't common in apartments or houses here and public transportation don't really have it either. It would make sense anyhow, since the doors open and close every 3 minutes anyway.

[@cheeksnlee213]

CologneCarter yeah I hear ya. Our apartment has no AC, so if I want to fire up the stove, it's a terrible idea. Salads are a way of life past mid June.

[@conniecrawford5231]

I haven’t heard the expression “ fire up” in ages! Lol ! How old are you? My mother used to say this! Hearing it gave me a laugh! I just “ turn on” my stove! Hope it gets cooler for you soon!

[@thevirtualtraveler]

Tried it. It's good. Maybe not caesar salad replacement good. But good. (I used candied pecans, which complemented the sharp dressing nicely).

[@seanswinton6242]

I did as well. Frankly, I just didn't feel like roasting the pecans.

[@djgrab1]

"It's hard to adjust dressings when they're not on the salad" Best point I've heard all week and its already Wednesday.

[@PatrickLeonardva]

Another Home Run Chef John! Was a total hit paired with your Gazpacho and a light curried chicken salad, perfect! And the dressing kept the apples from browning, the leftovers were delicious the next day for lunch.

[@sullenday]

btw best mustard ever, and of course perfect for this dressing, is Maille Dijon!

[@erinchamberlain1315]

Oh they'll definitely let you know Chef! Either they don't read to see if anyone else explained it in a previous comment, or more likely, are unable to stop themselves from showing you what an expert they are lol. Love your channel and thank you so much for sharing this

[@robertm4050]

Too bad you didn't publish this on March 15th... Beware the ides of March!!!

[@LifeofNaturalFoods]

It's looking very yummy.

[@DEATHWISH209]

I've learned so many recipes from your channel it makes me want to go to school to go to learn how to cook. your awesome

[@CombatSolver]

now we need an augustus salad to top them all

[@Jcolinsol]

caligula salad.

[@SatanLiterally]

Beef Chavez Caligula could really toss a salad.

[@lawrence090469]

Will he be posting the Marc Antony salad recipe soon? I need to know.

[@SpiritBear12]

Top the salads off with Caligula croutons. Oh that's one crazy salad!

[@Matthewjs33]

And follow it up with a Nero flambé for dessert.

[@rsoubiea]

thanks chef john, i live across the bay from S.F. and its been brutal here too. we've been trying a lot of delicious salads via take out & delivery. this sounds amazing! I've tried several of your recipes and they have all been great so you are a wonderful chef and teacher.

[@heidihudgins4793]

Man I'm not one for fruit in salads, but this looks reallllly yummy. I bet some dried cranberries and goat cheese instead of cheddar would also be good. If you mixed the fresh tarragon and dill into the dressing, reckon how many days it would keep?? 🤔

[@fireantsarestrange]

Salad resipe. We need more of those. This one looks great and I can just about taste that already. Nice flavor profile.

[@ethanspira3657]

"When you get the first whiffs of toasted nuts, you know you're getting close" -Chef John, 2017

[@Sharps.50]

Just tried the Brutus Salad , thoroughly enjoyed it , we loved the combination of all the flavours just works superbly .

[@SuzanneBaruch]

"You are the Brutus of your fruitus." CLASSIC!

[@colinaskey9777]

I love watching your vidios,they are all easy on the ear & eye and also mouth watering to look at,I just want to also explain that in England the sauce is called Worcester sauce, enjoy

[@congerhonn6069]

I've never been this early for a food wishes video

[@obsidiandwarf]

Chef, as an Englishman I have a sharp ear for pronunciation. You have ALWAYS got it right in past videos. For those that are wondering, despite the spelling, it is ' Wooster shear'. We usually call it just 'Wooster'. Love your channel. I used it on my bid to loose weight and eat healthier. I am eating healthier... and I put on three stones. :-) (by the way, the 'oo' is fairly short. It isn't 'Woooooster' More like the beginning of the word 'would'. Without the 'ld'. Would have been much easier to call it Essex sauce but, there you go).

[@gardeniabee]

Thanks, always wondered.

[@rohankamath88]

Hey Chef John, Try this salad with some steamed or sautéed golden beets for the soft texture and sweet notes as well as some bacon bits for a salty smokey flavor. It really takes this salad up to a whole new level. It's one of my all time favorite salads. :) :)

[@SzerenM]

I am doing the combination of pecan & apple in my salads years and years and years and just love it! (sometimes almond as well)

[@tweekyseagull]

For a guy who lives on a part of the planet with some of the most amazing seafood, why is it you haven't made a video about bouillabaisse?

[@sharoneyre7035]

...can't wait for the 'Caligula' salad!....or maybe the 'Nero' salad!!..the possibilities are endless!! xxx

[@MrJamesBond2011]

Hey Chef John, Totally love your recipes but I've got a question for you. Can you substitute the extra sharp Cheddar cheese for some Parmigiano Reggiano?

[@eltorpedo67]

No. That combination would kill you. But seriously, parm with apples? No.

[@MrJamesBond2011]

elTorpedo But why not, surely the combination of the sharp/sweet Granny Smith apples alongside the sharpness of the vinegar within the dressing can contrast well with the saltiness of the Parmesan cheese which helps to contribute a slight nuttiness that compliments the toasted pecans.

[@callistamarkham5443]

Gregory Shilov No, no. Cheddar really is the best to go with the apple. The sharpness is just perfect with it, and would just not be as satisfying if substituted.

[@MrJamesBond2011]

I don't understand the issue of not pairing apples with Parmesan cheese as the concept of pairing fruit with cheese is understood to work well. So therefore, the combo of Parmesan and apple should go well together.

[@foolintherain7792]

use feta cheese

[@xxiao5156]

Should have added some spearmint as garnish, since the famous Et tu Brute line was the creation of the Bard.

[@eltorpedo67]

Shakespeare didn't write that line, it had appeared in plays previous to "Julius Caesar" and was a common term by then.

[@xxiao5156]

Really? Just like how Chef John didn't come up with this salad :P?

[@eltorpedo67]

Yeah - like that.

[@franksvenshek2604]

Never have been a fan of nuts in a salad but toasting the pecans really does add a great flavor. Thanks again.

[@sootydooty4346]

Sir this is great and all but all I really want is Baklava

Made this for lunch. Awesome salad. Coudln't find any hot Dijion at grocery store though so the hotness isn't there but still very good. Haven't tasted a salad quite like this. The cheese and mustard interacting with the dill and tarragon is a unique and great flavor.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Can I use pears in the salad? Apples don't agree with me.

we do something similar, we don't use whole walnuts nor sweetened, but we do add dried cranberries and raisins... YUM... I am going to try this dressing on our salad.
