I love how you always take time to be sassy and fun about cooking, it adds such a personal touch and relieves the stress of following recipes to the word. Yes, have a toasted pecan while cooking. have your nose burnt by the dijon. it's an all senses activity after all, not a chemical experiment.

Sunday I made the Brutus Salad; Monday I made the Greek Salad and today I made the Egg Roll in the Bowl. WOW! Delicious salads. Thank you so so much chef John. My husband loves the Egg Roll in the Bowl.

I just put together the Big Fat Greek Salad ( followed the recipe exactly) and have it in the fridge chillin' and marrying the flavors. I. Can't. Wait. I was literally salivating making it... it smells so good, and the colors are gorgeous. Thank you Chef John!

I've been saving this on my notifications for a day now when I had time to relax and watch it. All of these look amazing, and that many Chef John puns in one video is a gift from God.

I've made versions of that Greek salad before but the way you do it is the best! The fresh oregano, salting the cucumber and the vinegar first tip really made the difference!!! Also the multicolor cherry tomatoes is so much better than the diced romas like I was doing. Dipping french bread in that juice is one of the greatest things on this planet! I left the cheese out, hope you aren't mad lol.

Love your salad chef!! There's a lots of homecooking channel out there but your the one I love best because you make REAL FOOD with good ingredients , I mean, have you notice HOW MUCH that most food channel homecooking are like ; box and can or already mixed food and bags of frozen chicken already cook or fry even meat balls frozen that you can buy??? And recipes made with soup can, sour cream and tons of cheese ( rather than making a delicious bechamel sauce ready in 5 min ???) and lots of process food ? It's not cooking its mixing and warming up and LITTLE LITTLE COOKING !!! But you chef, you make REAL FOOD !!! LOVE your cooking, , , , not much like you ....Sad to see that these days most people's doesn't cook anymore like we use to ! Keep on cooking CHEF🤗

Chef John, you are always my go-to when I'm looking for a really good recipe! Thank you!

[dbone]

You are, afterall, the one who writes the ballad for your salads.

I make a similar dish to the Greek salad, but I add a can of rinsed and drained garbanzo beans. It adds body to the salad and absorbs the flavor palette beautifully.

[erikaschaltenbrand]

Never get sick of your salads! They have all been amazing. Keep them coming!!

[JeanneWitter]

Love these salads. I go to lots of pot lucks and each of these looks like a perfect contribution

[anaduny]

Adorable.... I enjoyed very much those salads....

[ShannonDillavou]

Omgs....I made the Brutus for dinner tonight... topped with some thin slices of leftover strip steak to round it out as a full meal. I think I have a new favorite! It was amazing!!! So yummy 😋 ❤️😀

The Panzanella and Cucumber salads have become my go to summer recipes after I first saw them on the channel. Thanks for these great recipes! Greetings from Austria

[johnreeves]

Thanks for the heads up on how to make the salad dressings. As the weather gets warmer, I have a tendency to eat more salads, but I've never tried making my own dressing. Thanks again for showing how it's done
