Made this for lunch today (and for the week). I'm allergic to (raw) carrots so I grated sweet potato and sautéed them, and then remembered your beef and sweet potato falutas and grated another sweet potato and now I'm halfway to dinner prepped
This is so good, thank you so much for making salads that last. I've been making one or two a week and it's saved my sanity. Do you have a category on here for Salads that Last? I tried your Italian Sub Salad (from insta) and I feel like it fits in that category too, same with your Kale Fall Salad. I would love them all in one place so I could rotate through them!
Hot damn- just made this for lunch and it’s exactly the Jan. 5 meal I needed to remind myself that veggies are good for me and delish!! Omitted chicken/ raisins and added avocado and pepitas and it is so good.
Trying to find this on the substack but so far not finding it...any chance you have a recipe for an easy method to make chicken to put in all these amazing salads when you aren't able to buy a rotisserie? Oven/InstantPot/etc.? I LOVE rotisserie chicken but don't always have time to run out and grab one, but typically do have chicken breasts and thighs in my freezer. I've never found that "go to" recipe for how to prepare them so they'll taste moist and awesome.
We do a pack of chicken breasts, a little olive oil, salt and pepper in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. It shreds super easily and I use it in place of rotisserie chicken when I’m not feeling like massaging a chicken carcass. Maybe not an exact answer to your question but it’s so helpful for quick meals!
We lovingly call it “plain chicken” and honestly, it’s the best.
Alex Snodgrass has a hack for this in her cookbook, The Comfortable Kitchen called "fauxtisserie chicken" where you basically roast an entire chicken in the slow cooker!
My bagged kale ALWAYS is mostly stems 🤮 so I am going to just buy a couple of bunches instead and prep them. Dino or Curly or one of each? I have a bunch of cabbage too from my winter storage CSA can I add some of that shredded up do you think?
Loved this! Subbed chickpeas for chicken, separated into portioned containers and any time I packed lunch for an outing with my 2 year old I grabbed myself a salad for the road. I usually end up eating the dregs of toddler's lunch or whatever stale snack is in my center console because, mom math allows us enough time to make kids lunch but not ourselves? but I felt like a superwoman getting my greens in on the go. Looking forward to trying the variations next!
Made the Panko Honey Dijon Chicken from the book and used the leftovers (quickly sautéed to warm and re-crisp) as a sub for the rotisserie chicken and it is AMAZING.
Excellent! Subbed pomegranates for the raisins because I had them on hand and was so yummy! Also coooked the quinoa in bone broth for extra protein. What an excellent salad, thank you Caro!
My twelve-year-old daughter never likes anything I make for dinner. I made this tonight and she loves it! She’s currently on her second big bowl. Thank you, thank you.
Eating rn for lunch and it’s so delicious! The dressing, the golden raisins 👌🏼👌🏼 I only had brown rice on hand and it’s perf! Also had some beets I needed to use up & they were a great addition!
Girl how big is your salad bowl 😂 had to use two

I had the flautas for dinner tonight too!! So smart to use it in the salad

Ok I'm so into avocado here I just didn't add it because of the longevity of the salad, to make it last longer. But looove these additions.
Are there any promo codes / discounts for the feel good meal plans for paid subscribers of What To Cook? Thanks for considering!
We've been talking about how we could do this without being unfair to the people who already bought them!!! Will keep thinking and let you know!!
We wouldn't be opposed to a new one ;)
This is probably one of my favorite salads, eat it for lunch multiple days a week! Such an enjoyable way to be healthy!

I’ve been making quinoa the wrong way all along! Thanks for showing me the RIGHT way -
This is such a delicious salad!
Isn't it insane what a difference that 1/2 cup of liquid makes!!! So glad you tried this way and loved the salad!!!

Two bunches of curly!! Finely chopped! Cabbage def great here too.
I used Dino and loved it!

Also, excellent left over!
Made this and crumbled up sweet potato chips on top. Yum!
Just wanted to pop on and say this is my new favorite salad and I love being able to eat it for a few days! I look forward to it so much!
Salad leftovers you actually look forward to - yay!!!
