Recipe that I loosely followed: www.seriouseats.com/classic-panzanella-salad-recipe - I prefer to go a bit lighter on the bread. Yes I know that makes me sound lame but otherwise it just kinda eats like a sandwich and if I'm in the mood for veggies and dietary fiber then gosh darn-it I'm gonna get it.
Do you have to follow a recipe for everything - learn how to combine flavors like umami salty acidic with textures like crunchy or fatty and you can develop ideas yourself and not give shit tiktok advice.
Damn I thought I had everything to whip this up then realized I’m completely out of self worth and there’s no way I’m going out to get some last minute.
@@kellybraun5013 Canned or jarred self worth is just as good, but make sure to get it in juice, don't go for syrup because the rose tinted sweetness makes it short lived, brined tends to have a cynicism after taste, and pickled, while having a decent shelf life, can result in relationship degradation or liver damage long term. You don't want to always be pickled to access your self worth, y'know? In its own juice is best if you can't get fresh or dehydrated because it has a richer depth of flavour, and the juice can be used for smoothies.
@@Chiwalker Tomatoes were old. Look at the inside. I just know they were soggy. I love a good salad but don't be a dick and then have subpar ingredients.
@@spookymu1der no, it just reveals it. you probably focused on this comment and scrolled past the others. you may have accidentally cherry-picked. cheer up, fox.
Yesterday on the phone he told me "salads are for babies. Big fat babies who are afraid of flavor and real food like meat and eggs. If you want to hang out with me and my friends you're gonna have to tell us that you think tomatoes are dumb and stupid"
@@gkountilas i mean wasnt that the point of the video? its not that hard to make a palatable salad that tastes pretty good, hes trying to convince people to not eat take out all the time, not make them into professional chefs lmao.
@@grzmit5904 Idk man, what I got from the vid was that he told us how our salads suck and suggested an improvement. Didn't hear jack about not buying takeout/fast food/ whatever
He really knows what’s up when he said “Spoke $40 greens medley, pitched to you by a gen Z tik tok food influencer” I struggle to eat because I so busy and tired wym 😭 I know how to make a good salad
He definitely spoke to me there, though the rest... The reason I don't like salads isn't because they're boring, or that I'm bad in the kitchen, it's that at a restaurant I have so little control over what goes in them and I don't like any kind of lettuce as the main substance of a dish, and at home because at much as I love cooking, there's no part of working in the kitchen I hate more than pulling out the knife and cutting board and spending twenty minutes cutting things up that every recipe book says should take five. I'm no professional chef, cutting things up isn't something I spend hours of every day on, if I'm being generous it's something I do once a day for an hour or less, abs more realistically once or twice a week for fifteen minutes (admittedly mostly because the main thing I chop up for cooking is onions, and I've got a tool for mincing that once I've got it into reasonably sized chunks), I have other things in my life to do than perfect my knife work to take less time cooking when there are other options available, and unlike so many other parts of cooking, you can't just stop paying attention to chopping up veggies or walk away and do something else while it just happens, you have to be there doing it, and at best you can multitask by listening to a youtube playlist, or an audiobook or something. If you've got something frying in the pan, you can always just turn the heat down and walk away for ten minutes, and it'll be fine, it might turn out overdone, or maybe even a bit burnt if you welt careful with turning it down enough or you get really distracted, but it'll happen without you there. There is no way to make a salad without being there and paying attention to the whole process.
@@juwebles4352 in terms of structure I have not before heard the argument of type of starch. I would argue that a hotdog is a taco due to the connections of carbohydrates on 3 sides
@@mrbarjam7067 There is only one point of connection with a taco because its a flatbread, the hot dog with both sides of its bun has 2 connection points, like a burger or any other sandwich
My bf used to say he hated salad and I was utterly confused, then found out he just used lettuce and dressing and understood. He loves the salads I make now though☺️
Generations of Americans really did grow up thinking salad meant Hidden Valley ranch over old Iceberg lettuce and it’s really sad. It is fun to sway people though.
Yeah, I almost yelled "noooo". As an Italian I know that the serum in which mozzarella is kept is just that, a liquid to keep mozzarella without ruining it. The salad itself it's wonderful.. I would soak the onion in a bit of water to make it a bit less aggressive but ... good work!
Idc what anyone says, cold veggies are just gross. Fry them, sauté, roast and I’ll all for it. To each their own but when I eat food I don’t want leaves and plants being the main star
@@SenyaiGrubsI've never understood why influencers roast their fans, the people who made them famous in the first place. Nobody asked for ur "help" dude, if our soggy salads are what get us through the day, we're gonna eat them
@@cholanrajendran1207 raw foods have different nutritional benefits than cooked. For a healthy gut microbiome, it's best to eat a variety of healthy foods, raw and cooked.
It would be a great place for me. My cooking is not the best (although I do have some favored meals by my friends), but my salads are where people are truly impressed. Even in the category: "for something that isn't meat, that is actually pretty decent" from a 'carnivore' that is afraid to touch any non-meat other than french bread.
Salads are literally the most interesting thing you can do imo. I like to just buy different fruits and veggies that sound weird when put in a salad together, then put them in a salad together and see what pops out. Most of my favorite salad recipes where born from good ole "lol wth, let's go for it!" They're fun to play around with. 😁
My dad taught me growing up how to make all sorts of dishes ( he wasnt a professional chef but he was an amazing cook ) making balsamic dressings and some easier honey ones to mix in with your feta and mozzarella italian salad was my childhood
Yall hear me out, if u add cucumber to your salad make sure to wash the cucumber and sprinkle it with some sugar it makes them nice and crunchy even after a period time! (I have done this way to many times but it never gets old)
People will just boil vegetables in water and call it disgusting. I promise you if you just boil anything in unseasoned water it blows, dont treat veggies like they're second class food
I really like this recipe, and the one on the sote looks interesting too, but the original tuscan panzanella it's completely different, we make it soaking the bread in water and vinegar, it's not crispy at all but mushy, and it isn't fancy either, it's just just odl wet bread with tomatoes and onion 😆 (ok the onion is Tropea one but it's the only fancy thing)
Replace mozzarella with feta cheese, put some oregano, and you have the most basic version of a Greek salad. We eat that literally almost everyday, that's the first thing coming to my mind when someone says salad😅
@@nonsuspiciouscolourcause most cheeses use cow milk which most people are accustomed to. Feta uses sheep milk, maybe that's why. It's funkier than cow.
@@SarahIlayda Usually it's a blend from sheep's and goat's milk that's used to make feta. I personally love it, but I can see how some people might find it too strong. I guess it's the same when those sliced cow cheeses for sandwiches taste like complete nothingness to me.
@@nonsuspiciouscolour are you perhaps a fellow American (but not one that grew up eating goat and feta cheese)? Do you not crumble your feta in small bits? There are factors here
You basically made a Greek village salad but instead of bread on the side, Redwine vinegar, and feta, you used croutons, lemon, and mozzarella. Nicely done
that's a salad with croutons, panzanella is made with stale italian bread re-hydrated in water and vinegar. the sog might sound unappetizing but it's really really great, you should give it a shot
yeah but you’re putting my entire weekly grocery budget in this salad edit: ppl are getting pressed as hell abt my grocery budget… idk why i have to explain that i was exaggerating a little bc this was a casual comment in a youtube channel and not a dissertation where i was trying to be perfectly factually accurate & tell u my exact budget. i didn’t actually sit there and calculate shit lmao… but the guy did put a whole ball of fresh mozz cheese on there which is expensive in my city. and idk what u guys are spending on groceries in a week but i have my budget and id prefer to use that mozzerella money on something else or at least use the cheese more than once. also kindly get out of my business & stop trying to tell me how to spend my money lmao… i’m just some rando on the internet why are u in an argument about my groceries….
Duuuuuuuude I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 all he did was fry bread.. no balsamic vinegar? No salt and pepper?.. hey man, you ALSO can’t cook hahaha
I love salads! I might get stuck in the same flavor combos, but it's because they're so satisfying to me lol. My favorite trick is to soak dried cranberries (currants, blueberries etc) in balsamic vinegar in the fridge in a jar. It's so so good! The sugars from the fruit dissolve and make a syrup with the vinegar, but mainly I just keep topping it off with more dried fruit and vinegar.
Yesterday lol. It was romaine with carrots, strawberries, edamame, quinoa, dried cranberries, rosemary croutons, balsamic dressing, and chicken breast.
@@ik1437 I mean this is a classic salad and it’s definitely tasty but if we talking about “not boring salads” get some ridicio or andive throw in some fruits af a nice creamy cheese get some nuts in there I mean the possibilities are endless you can go nuts with it. Use a nice vinegrette could also add some protein.. limitless options really
@@dreamelatte | I have a very good ear for rhythm and underlying melody. I don’t do music professionally but I play the saxophone and the snare drum quite a bit
@@dreamelatte The melody at the end of the video is pretty obvious. Also, I don't play any instrument or think I have very good ears like the other guy, but wearing a headphones helps a lot.
I made what the world calls proper Greek salad, and now I eat it almost daily because its the best salad I've had ever. I'm really picky with dressings so it's nice to put vegetables into my diet that I enjoy
as an Indian , i never had any problems with salad , just sprinkle some salt/rock salt on tomato slices and you are set , if you want more flavour then you can always add more spices like red pepper or black pepper , coriander powder and so much more. it can be done to most salad items but most popular ones here are kakdi/khira , tomato , onion , muli , cabbage , etc
I love salads, most ppl on diets complain that all they eat is salad, but I would happily eat them, theres so many different ways to make a salad, and ik the frustration of only eating one thing instead of eating the sugary foods youre accostumed to, but still, salad is great on its own, and it definitely isnt bland. Anyone else on this?
Final verdict: salads are either boring or they're a bowl filled with a bunch of plants which have flavors that porposefully don't go well with each other. It doesn't taste bad. At least not on accident
Just a couple of my fave dressings: honey mustard dressing (just honey, mustard, olive oil, touch of balsamic); sesame oil & rice wine vinegar...put some satay sauce on top it's awesome, a bit like gado gado / petjel
