Call it “A big Ass salad”
Use a ceramic knife to chop lettuce do it doesn't turn brown. Metal knives turn lettuce brown.
Such sloppy cooking and cutting techniques. Threw away the best part of the lettuce.
1 roma is only 2.5 grams carb
Olives fine
The hard stuff in the middle is the best part. I only like the crispy part of the lettuce.
Wash lettuce, place lettuce in a Wal-Mart bag and slung it around in a circle motion. The water goes into the bottom of the bag. Easy peasy. Try it better than a salad washer.
❤ Pimentos are a type of red pepper. Pronounce the word “Worcestershire” woos-tuh-sure. (That’s as close as I can get it.) You can also look it up and hear it correctly pronounced.
I hate the fact that you wide your nose twice with bare hands, then make a raw salad for others to eat…..
How can you chop anything on a slippery, sliding board? Its dangerous and amateurish. Dude, come on. Any why aren't your veggies already washed? Are you a chef….you can't be.😂😂😂
I would cut up peperoni also. gives it a nice punch.
I love the Columbia. We used to go when I lived in Plant City.
I've been to the Columbian restaurant in St. Augustine, I didn't have this salad but another one that was amazing (this one looks awesome), I loved when they served the salad they asked if you wanted garlic powder on it..yes please lol
Thanks for the video. Next time you do ice berg lettuce, take the head of lettuce in 1 hand like your gripping a ball with the stem facing down and tap it on a hard surface like your chopping board. It will pop out with most of that hard yellow stuff. May have to tap it a couple of times. 45 years ago I learned that working in a Bonanza Steak House in Lufkin, TX. Take care!
Throw those olives in!!!
I can’t believe you’ve never slammed the lettuce head on the counter to remove the core. YouTube it!!
You need to expand your salad horizons! No offense, but this salad is just a normal salad for a salad-eater, but it needs onion! Next time, expand your horizons and try a Chopped Italian. 😂
Ceasar dressing is keto if you follow the original recipe. Store bought dressings mostly suck.
My mom taught me to bang the stem on the counter and pull the core out of the head of the iceberg lettuce, then rinse, and let it rest suspended on a shot glass to let the rinse water drain out of the lettuce… it helps dry it and avoid the little compact core pieces.
I might try this… but I'll add hard-boiled egg whites for more protein to make it more filling 😊
All you had to do was pull the pimento out of the olives.
best salad spinner is called a tea towel. Simply place your lettuce in the centre, gather the edges and then have fun spinning it over your head… Works a treat every time.
Great salad !
Food at Walmart yuk. Vegs are coated with Apeel.
The hard stuff in the lettuce I call Lettuce butts and yes get rid of them!!
Looks wonderful thanks for sharing with us
Im not a fan of swiss either.. i usually substitute provolone or havarti .. i think id do half iceberg and half romaine probably add a bit of red onion to the dressing as well. Will certainly give this a try.. thank you so much
You don't need a salad spinner. Put your lettuce in a clean pillowcase, go outside and sling the water out.
