    Hi Becky, here's my french grandmere's french salad dressing. Use 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, mix in a half teaspoon ground sea salt add a couple of twists of ground black pepper. Next add 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, then add 2 tablespoons of the best olive oil. I make this in a jar which I shake until its an emulsion. Bon appetit! Hugs Anne in France x

      I was visiting a girl in France with a friend of hers and she took us to a restaurant and we had, as a starter, a lettuce salad on a plate with this white looking dressing. Well it was one of the tastiest dressings ever, sorry lettuce with dressing. It was a white dressing. Do you think this was the the same dressing?

      @@gaymccoll9309 A home made dressing that's white is often make using white wine vinegar instead of re wive vinegar and the all the ingredients are whisked with a hand whisk or electric whisk. And a pinch of sugar is added. Also there is a recipe using a little mayonnaise and adding a lot more oil and some water. Or there's also a type of green sauce made using only mustard and oil salt and pepper. Once it's all mixed, add lids of chopped parsley and chopped sorrel, this mostly used for fish.

      I am not from france, but I am French Canadian, and we often make homemade dressing with sour cream as well. I dont know if this is an old french recipe that made it's way to Canada many moons ago, but it is common here. It's very good. Sour cream, a little bit of milk, salt and pepper. Some add mustard to it as well. Yummy.

    Made the BLT salad. I used a rotisserie chicken from Costco, it worked out to just about 6 cups of shredded chicken/Costco chicken. Because one of the people I was fixing this for, doesn’t tolerate onions well I used about half the amount of green onions/scallions and replaced the red onion with finely diced celery. It was a hit with both the onion and non onion lovers in the group.

    Hi Becky. There is a lot of flavour that can be found in the cilantro stalks. If you just cut off the very ends, the stalks can be cut finely to add to your salads. Alternatively bag and freeze them until you have enough to chop into cilantro lime rice - or put them into processor with garlic and butter to top garlic bread. Another use is to process with lemon zest, seasoning, chilli flakes and butter to make a log of flavoured butter to top grilled chicken.

    I went through a lot of the comments and I didn't see this so here...tip on Chicken. You can prep it the night or day before by putting it in a crock pot and even using frozen breasts. Frozen takes about 8 hours on low, or 4 hours on high depending on how much you cook. For easy shredding, right in the pot use a hand mixer and take the beater to it. Quick and easy without adding a lot of liquid to the chicken. I just let it cook in it's own juices but you can add seasoning right at the beginning and the flavor really gets into the chicken. It's pretty much the same as poaching but I find it easier when I need to do a lot of chicken or don't want to heat the house up in the summer by using the stove.

    • @ladybethspices
      @ladybethspices 5 месяцев назад +2

      Please, please, never put frozen meat in a slow cooker!! Always defrost it first. My former housemate put frozen chicken in his crock pot and a few minutes later we hear this loud cracking sound. The entire ceramic crock exploded, shattering it and ruining the chicken and the crock pot. The booklets that come with the crockpot says not to put frozen food in crockpots, to always defrost them first.

      I don't know where you are, but cilantro likes cool weather. When it starts getting hot, they will go to seed. Then you can pick the dry seeds off for coriander! And plant some of the seeds in August-September & you will have more plants. ❤

    Salad 1 looks so fresh and delicious. I live by Temecula California. Now known for many vineyards. But now it also has olives. And a olive oil company with many very tasty olive oils. Small batches and a tasting room that rivals the wine tasting rooms. Especially since I'm not a wine drinker.

    The Thai Chicken Salad with Peanut Sauce is the 1st one of these I'm going to make. I don't normally eat peppers, but with the dressing and everything else, I think I'll like them just fine. I'm also going to put some cucumbers in it as you suggested. I enjoyed this video so much...I love salads too!

      The stickers on vegetables are eatable. They use paper made from vegetable oil. It will not hurt you. It's not very pleasing to the eye, though.

    You’re amazing Becky! You inspire me to want to be in my kitchen and prep and cook for my family (after retirement), so cooking is new to me since I’ve been head of household for five decades. I enjoyed watching you make all of your salads, and they look fantastic and easy to make. My very favorite meal that you made was your Mediterranean meal for some guests that were visiting you and you serve them baklava, and the most delicious Mediterranean meal I have ever seen anyone make. Thank you for inspiring me to wanna eat healthier and to enjoy my garden. Lastly, I also loved your soap making and lip gloss making content. You are so creative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for putting so much joy in my life and in the lives of your viewers.

    Had to come back and say I made 2 of these already and they’re very good. I added pasta to the one with the Italian meats and beans. Tomorrow I’m making the Thai salad and I’m cutting wonton strips and frying them to top of the salad for extra crunch. I like adding this on Asian salads.

    Couldn't get the BLT salad out of my head until I made it. Happy accident: I didn't get my red onions in the oven with the chicken (I think that was the instructions). So, I fried them in the bacon grease until super tender. Drained and patted well. May do it that way every time! Delicious! Can't wait to try the others. You're a joy and inspiration to watch.

    Baking cubes of yam, seasoned appropriately for your salad, extends and fills bellies and adds tons of nutrition. For the cowboy caviar I would probably season yams, while baking, with chili powder or cumin. I make a black bean, yam, mango, red pepper salad with lime and jalapeño dressing. For that I roast the yam cubes with coriander and olive oil, salt and pepper.

    FYI, including the stems of the cilantro is not only frugal it adds a bit of crunch. No need to toss them. Also, no need to peel onions or shallots when making stock or broth. Lots of nutrients in skins. I too love shallots as a base for broth or stock. Just a hint more sweet!
