What's your formula for a great salad?

[@silentraisin]

eating the rainbow is a solid formula i learned a few years ago and making an effort to add variety makes food more visually appealing for me as well as incorporating contrasting taste profiles

[@carlasmith7856]

greetings love salads great joy heaven ASE ASE ASE 😃🥰😛💯💯👍👍❤❤

[@Ella.L.]

As a main dish it should be nutritious & filling and have lots of different colours & textures and crunch & creaminess! 😋 Fresh, crunchy greens/vegetables and a great dressing are key for any good salad, IMO!

[@MrsMMcG]

Sweet (fruit), salty (miso or soy sauce), healthy oil (avo or seeds), savory (beans or tofu). Makes it a meal, not a meal opener. 🙂

"What colors have I not had enough of this week. I find it more effective than counting sheep" That is brilliantly a classic my friend!! Great quote! I often think that way all the time. But I never could put it together in words like you just did. It's so true and so smart! Thank you for your great content! You're amazingly special!!

[@thenarddogcooks]

Thanks a ton!🙏🏾

I love my hot/cold salads. Cooked potatoes and a few cooked veggies/lentils/chick peas over any kind of greens drizzled with balsamic glaze, mustard (any kind), Tahini, 1-2 tablespoons of hummus, lime juice.

Your attitude throughout the video, the beautiful cinematics, and the actual salads themselves all gave me the reasons to subscribe! Amazing job.

The kale salad was ridiculously delicious! This combination of veggies in a salad aroused my curiosity to try, and since I had just picked some kale from the garden and had every other ingredient, I did ! Yummity yum yum good.

[@thenarddogcooks]

I love that!! Thanks, Kathie!

[@1xXBCDXx1]

Kale salad definitely my favorite and adding the sweet potato is genius. I used to use zucchini noodles too with some tomatoes and tofu 😋

Not sure how I came across your videos but I’m so glad I did. I’ve been ovo-vegetarian for almost 11 years now. I was repeating the same recipes for the last two years and getting bored with my food. However your videos have introduced new recipes and it’s so simple and delicious! I feel inspired again to cook so thank you for your content. I really enjoy it and I’m excited to try these salads next!

[@thenarddogcooks]

That is so great! Thank you, Rachael!!

[@tombellman]

Made the taco salad the other day. Wow. That sunflower seed thing is incredible. I found it even tasted better the next day right out of the fridge. And it's very filling without being heavy feeling. I am going to try some of your other recipes. Love your approach, Andrew! Thank you!

[@JaieKeller]

So you can eat it cold?

[@candyw5404]

Love watching your videos. You always make me smile. I am a cook in a small vegan café in California with a regular menu, the only things that change are our hummus and soup. It gets a little boring when I go home and make the same old vegan food for myself...thank you for giving me some great ideas.

Yum, I LOVE me some salad & kale! I just had a big bowl of it yesterday: Kale, arugula, red onions, dried cranberries & tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, a creamy & tangy cashew-based dressing and baked potatoes & sweet potatoes - I make it all the time; it's the best! 😋

[@thenarddogcooks]

sounds so delicious!

[@kenishaepps6916]

I really love these recipes and am hooked on this channel to come up with new vegan ideas. Another tip would be to ditch the store bought taco seasoning and make your own without the extra bs they add to it(smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper) when I discovered this, I stopped buying store bought and you can customize it.

[@fionacrowe9216]

Yooooooooo!!!! That kale salad was LIFE!!! Thank you so much for inspiring me to think outside the basic salad box! Day 10 of plant based eating and I’m amazed by all the delicious healthy flavors I’ve been missing out on all these years. I feel FANTASTIC!

[@brap3798]

oh shit! As a chef, I'm picturing the flavors and textures of the first salad in my mind and they taste awesome. I think the creaminess of the avocado will blend the crunch and spices from the sweet potato and chickpeas so well with the fresh vibes from the sweet'n'sour'n'light bitterness from the kale. God it looks amazing xD Maybe I would add some cooked red beets after drowning them in lime(zest), roasted black pepper corns and olive oil, for some extra sweet and sour happiness and to give it a bit more of a 2022 inclusive colorscheme 😇 Well done my friend and I can't wait for the rest of the video

[@margarett_b]

Well, I love pretty much any salad combination - and after a few days of conference catering I was DREAMYING of a salad. It means however, that most of the salads I eat are of the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink type - which is absolutely fine BUT certainly lacks creativity ;P I looove the addition of sweet potato to the kale salad (they sounded so crispy!), the use of sunflower seeds in the taco "meat" for the second recipe and the parmesan with arugula - never added vegan cheese to my salads! . Anyways, really a great video! I love your filming style, all the tips and stories and simply your sense of humor :D Have a great rest of the week!

Hey Andrew. I've never been the biggest fan of the cooking section of youtube, and although I put a lot of importance in not eating meat in any way (it's been around a year and a half since my only "relapse"), it is very difficult for me to put some proper attention and care in the recipes I follow / prepare. However, in your channel I find very welcoming videos, done in a style that clearly appeals to me, as I am even seriously thinking of trying a few of your recipes, something I have never ever done before. Moreso than cheering you to keep up the good work, I would like to say that you are starting to inspire me in a way I thought nobody would in what comes to cooking and eating, and I bet I am not the only one. Cheers :))))

[@barroerabonatarda7045]

I love a salad with lots of ingredients besides the leafy greens. I throw everything I have in there - aside from the usual tomatoes or avocado, I'll throw in leftover brown rice, beans, tofu, sunflower seeds, nuts, corn, you name it. Whatever I have hanging around that seems to be a likely candidate for a salad. My favorite thing to do is to mash half an avocado in the bowl first, and then make it into a dressing with some balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, and some seasonings. Then I'll build the salad and toss it all together.
