hi everyone welcome or welcome back to dinners with eat it today we’re jumping right in to three amazing salad recipes that are great especially when you’re cooking for a big group with warmer weather already here I focused on three salads that are refreshing that can be eaten at home or taken to a barbecue or get together as always I’ve written all the ingredients and directions in the description box below so make sure to like and save this video so you can EAS come back to it later when you’re ready to cook first up is this white bean and bell pepper salad I’m using dried beans which have to be soaked for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight once they have softened you can simply boil them for around 20 minutes with a little bit of salt until they are softened you could buy already canned beans and skip this cooking step and it’ll just make the recipe a lot quicker this is what the beans look like soft after they have cooked and now I’m simply going to drain them from the water and let them cool this salad features sweet bell peppers I’m using one of each color here for some added visual interest I’m just going to seed them and cut them into long thin strips like this right here I’m using half of each bell pepper but you can double this recipe if you want to make more next is the tomatoes so something that I learned in one of my cooking class is to seed the tomatoes like this by just pinching the top and slicing off the seeds and this will just prevent your salad from from being overly watery um so I’m just removing all of the seeds carefully and going to be using the outer part of the Tomato only and this serves as like a nice little Chef’s snack just like the bell pepper slice the Tomato into long thin strips next we have some fresh basil just chopping it up along with some fresh parsley and onion again Into Thin strands put everything together in a big bowl with some minced garlic vinegar olive oil and lemon juice let this all marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients grating some aago cheese like this I also have some sliced calamada olives and now it’s time to just put it all together with your beans some dry oregano and mix it all up the salad is looking beautiful full of color and flavor here I’m just pairing it with myi chicken for dinner and time to enjoy salad number two is this street color pasta salad with bacon I really like this multicolor pasta because it just makes the final result a lot prettier and supposedly it uses natural colors just cooking the pasta as I normally would in the meantime grating some Parmesan cheese for this salad about 3/4 of a cup pasta is done just going to strain it and put it in a bowl with a bit of oil to prevent sticking and let it cool time to pan fry the bacon I really like bacon in this pasta but you could honestly use sausage or salami or anything else that you prefer the bacon is nice and crispy so just going to set that aside onto a paper towel using half of a red onion cut into thin strips some basil again and some parsley those are my two go-tos using sundried tomatoes for this one instead of regular fresh tomatoes chopping them up into small bite-sized pieces and some black olives a little trick so that the red onions are not so bitter and overpowering is to put a little bit of sugar on them next we’re going to make our pasta salad dressing with some lemon juice garlic olive oil dejon mustard maple syrup or honey and a little bit of salt shake it all up now all that’s left to do is to chop up the bacon and to put it all together this is my favorite part just look how colorful and fresh this all looks together with your homemade dressing honestly it’s worth all of the effort our last salad today is a cabbage SLO with Greek yogurt dressing I’m using half of a Cabbage for this recipe and honestly it goes such a long way so the trickiest part of the salad is to just cut the Cabbage into as thinly as possible it’s a little bit tricky so just play around with it if you have any recommendations on how to do this more easily let me know in the comments to wash the Cabbage I’m just soaking it in plenty of water with a splash of white vinegar and letting it sit for about 5 minutes while that is happening I have four carrots here just going to peel them and then grate them with the biggest setting of my cheese grater right here I love using beets for this salad just making things simple with canned beets but if you’re using fresh make sure to boil them beforehand to soften them before grating them and adding them to your salad changing things up with cilantro this time but if you don’t like cilantro you can use parsley instead adding some corn for a bit of sweetness and now it’s time to make the dressing instead of mayo we are using plain Greek yogurt with a bit of oil and yellow mustard and salt mix that all up add it to your salad if you want sweetness here you can even put a bit of maple syrup or honey into your dressing but I just left it a bit pler because we added corn and carrot this is sweet enough for my taste and that’s it for this healthier version of KLA I hope you enjoyed these three refreshing salads if you learned something new don’t forget to like this video and leave me a comment telling me which of these three salads you’re going to make thanks for watching Ando
