What if she said, "Your salad tastes like S**t?" LOL

I know right!? I'm suddenly in a happy mood 😂

She does bring your mood up😂

What if she said your cooking is terrible loool lol jk 😂

😂😂

Yes, at the resturants my children were managers of they had them season just before serving. Thanks

@@CookingAtPamsPlace Thanks from Denver, Colorado USA 🇺🇸💕👍

Even when i grow it it is floopy

What's the point of eating a Salad if you’re going to put salt on it? Lol

@@thegoldenchild-ou8lr salt doesn’t negate the good nutrients and fiber, especially not a pinch

I don't think she's under any threat. She's just talking about food. But yes, bless her and keep her safe. You're right, love should always be protected.

Don't know about that, we know at least someone is only allowed to bring beverages to gatherings. 🥴

You got that right!

​@Dulces me too 😂. My brother's wife can't cook a bit, but thinks she can. After tasting her food I know why her son hates certain foods. He tried my spaghetti after declaring he doesn't like it. I told him to just try one bite then he can have something else if he didn't like it. He ate two servings. She insisted on bringing lasagna and bragged about how good it was. It was pasta, canned tomato sauce and ricotta cheese with a tiny bit of shredded cheese on top. Didn't even season it.

@@jenniferrb3665 Yikes! The poor, undernourished kid…

​@Dulces LOL 😂 this is me! I am the bringer of the beverages 😅

Agreed 100%

agreed!

I was going to call her Auntie too!

I LOVE HER HAAAAAAAIR!!!!!!!

Hold up: Apple wood smoked salt is a thing?!?!? ❤

Yep. We need more people to learn to add salt to your salad to make it taste like restaurant salad. You cannot be serious.

RIGHT! I would watch cooking shows more if lovely people like her had shows!

The brazilian salad i make usea a lot of salt, lettus, tomatoes, and olive oil. It keeps well overnight but it does release a lot of water lol. But all the flavors mix well overnight lol.

Who keeps salad overnight??? The lettuce would be really gross by morning!

@@jaelynrae6045 you have to cut the lettus really small like the Brazilians do, otherwise your right lol and its turns a weird color

@@jaelynrae6045 depends what’s on it. I cut up fresh romaine and ziplock bag it tightly. It stays fresh all week. If I had other ingredients like veggies it may get a tad soggy but if you don’t put dressing on it you can absolutely still have a fresh salad for a couple days in the fridge.

@@pamelasmith6221 that's just lettuce...not a "salad". 😁

Try it and you’ll always do it from now on

Same!!!

😂😂 I love that “I think this is something I need in my life”. I appreciate you being choosy about what’s in your life…down to adding spices to a salad. You’re awesome!!

I use Everything But Bagel seasoning

Add a squeeze of lime or lemon…you won’t ever need any of the poisonous dressings on the market.

Awesome!

🙏🏽❤️

The salads I make at home are better, fresher, and have the ingredients I like in them.

Yes! Grocery store salad dressings have strange chemical aftertastes and most are disgustingly sweet.

Yep! My favorite ❤️

Good idea. May give it a try.

That sounds so good! 😋

Mmmm thank you I'll try this next time 👍

Thanks!!!!

Samn straight.

Please god no it’s so irritating

I seriously want her to call me daily with love and encouragement. The mom I need right there.

@@SisterSunshineTV Sending you hugs for this one (hugs) 💜

@@TielMama777 actually the algorithm recommended it.

It’s my fav part when she turns around and walks into the counter haha I think she’s so cute I love her ♥️

Sometimes, it's the little things. Her, your comment, all warmed my heart. I needed it tonight. ❤ Ty

Bolll right, walking right to cabinets lol too cute

STOP IT'S ADORABLE

​@@Givebackthescarfit's not automatically bad but there are plenty of health reasons someone might need to cut back on certain types of food and this is a useful way to do it without sacrificing flavor

My husband and I do the same with our salads. He's a Chef and taught me about the Restaurant Salads taste 👍💯

@@Givebackthescarf not in your twenties. By the time your late 40s come, it's another story. Even if it hasn't jacked up your heart yet, your knees and back suffer because of it.

My mom taught me to add lemon pepper to mine. Now I’m hooked!

I have worked at cafés, food trucks, diners, fine dining, meat and threes, buffets, pizza joints, bars, chain restaurants.... and also, never once seen restaurants season their salads. What I have noticed that makes them taste amazing is having veggies prepped but fresh, ice cold salads, home made dressings, eggs that are not overboiled, fresh black pepper, good cheeses, quality ingredients such as olives, capers, artichoke, home made croutons, etc, and extremely clean and fresh greens. The right balance of salt, acidity, rich and light flavors will give you a amazing salad when made fresh.

Did you personally prepare them? no then hush

Super easy to make at home also and it taste just like theirs.

I cannot find their low calorie dressing anywhere anymore . 😂

​@@901WesWalmart

I used to work at Olive Garden. They don't put any salt or seasonings on their salad. That fresh grated parm definitely makes a difference though.

She would!

dude she totally has sesame street vibes. i don’t even remember much about that show cause it’s been ages but when i read that i instantly know what you’re saying the feeling is the same. she’s just so wholesome!

@@GolAcheron-fc4ug I know, she's so cute!

Lemon juice and olive oil are refreshing too.

Ooou good idea! Thanks for sharing. Yummmm lol.

Love the lime juice with olive oil:) Sooo good!!

That’s what I was thinking… I always think my salads are way better than the restaurants

Me too. Most salads I had at restaurants were bland, usually just a ton of leafy greens (mostly iceberg lettuce and baby spinach) with few cocktail tomatoes and that's it. If there was any dressing, they used it sparingly and didn't toss the salad. The only tasty salad I can get is at that vegan place, there's much more going taste- and texture-wise on and the dressing is heavenly, it's a good salad despite having corn and arugula which I both hate and put aside. Their other salads are fine, but that one is dope. And at home every salad tastes great, no matter if I do dressing from scratch or mix dry dressing herbal mix with oil and water / vinegar / citrus juice. And everyone else in the comments (not counting you both) writes about restaurant salads being tastier. Where are they all eating at? 😅

@@vanillablossom I agree. Anytime I venture very far from my little corner of the world (full of vegans and salad :) ), salads at restaurants are sad. I live here for a reason!!!

You're very welcome!

You are so welcome

​@@CookingAtPamsPlace❤❤❤

Sounds great! I'll try that.

Anything would better than her salt and pepper recipe. Oh my, there it is. Your recipe that sounds tasty and delicious. Now try it without anything except salt and pepper.

@@rabbit3212010What do you mean? She put more than salt and pepper on it. Are you saying that just salt and pepper would be better?

@@rabbit3212010your comment literally makes 0 sense.

Greek here. Salt, pepper, regular malt vinegar, oregano and EVOO. Perfect. I used to have the mums from my kids school friends ask me for my dressing recipe because their kids didn't eat salad at home but loved mine. Little tip. Olive oil goes on last. You don't want to coat the salad in oil first as it stop the other ingredients from sticking

​@@rabbit3212010 she didn't add pepper. She said add pepper if that's what you like.

Omg! Me too I love cayenne pepper on my salad and chipotle ranch dressing

It sounds good. I’ve been using jalapeño balsamic vinegar but would like a change

@@pamelachan7004 I use the hidden valley brand chipotle ranch dressing. It's so good!

It doesn't. That's ghetto lol. I have a friend that puts Lawry's on salad. I wouldn't do this to my salad. If you put any cheese on the salad it already has salt in it. I prefer feta on a greek salad. For me olive oil is the trick mixed with whatever dressing. Much healthier.

​@@IAMYUNGGAFI agree lol seasoning a salad is ghetto. I understand a little salt or pepper but that's it. Not everything is meant to be seasoned 🤦🏾‍♀️

It’s not ghetto, they literally have what’s called “finishing salt” to put on those types on things on the way out the kitchen. What type of salt is up to you. We ain’t the only ones that season our food.

what the hell. are you all being sarcastic? you just eat raw lettuce straight up without ANY salt, pepper, garlic, chili flakes? and it has NEVER occurred to you to put any spices at all in your veg lmao? I mean, I don't get how this video is posing as a "hack" in the first place. but also, how is seasoning salads "ghetto", omg. I do not know a single person who doesn't do it, and I'm a white ass Eastern European.

Salad literally comes from the word for salt.

Thank you so much

I'm pretty sure she's too young to be mine 😅

Really? She seems disturbingly manic to me.

My first thought was "can she be my big sister, or auntie or something?" She gives great advice and seems so warm and loving.

@@jamesmcinnis208 lol

@@ebonyr.b.1216 I'd choose someone more like Gloria Foster or Spring Byington.

Yum 😋 that sounds absolutely 💯 delicious 😋

👍🏻

I love Cilantro!

Yes, my most favorite salad! I add cilantro avocado and chopped strawberries to my lettuce. Preferably the greener lettuce types. I salt and pepper it up! Without ANY other dressings at all. Yum! Although, i must add, I've surely been plenty ridiculed and/or questioned as to why in the world i would add any salt. 🤷‍♀️Well, Thanks to Ms. Pam here, I feel much better!! 🎉❤woohoo!

I just add a dish soap dressing for the same flavor.

I just add a dish soap dressing for the same flavor.

You're giving me an idea! I could use olive brine!

That is not t the standard norm at restaurants

Yeah they don't presalt the salads either. It would be so impractical. At least I've never seen it, and I've seen my fair share of cooks dressing salads last minute as a waiter. The ingredients need to remain crunchy and fresh for two solid hours each shift, no way you salt them beforehand as it would just draw the moisture out after half an hour or so. Maybe in school kitchens, idk. Just switch the quantity for some sugar and/or msg in your dressing spices instead of the full salt dose, you'll get closer to what restaurants achieve. Also fun fact, himalayan salt is just pink salt, the colour doesn't even have to be natural because it's just a commercial label, not an actual controlled product with strict guidelines for the production. No salt industries exist in the himalayas anyway. It's overpriced coloured salt, nothing more or less to it. You need more minerals, take supplements, don't change your table salt for bougie overpriced salt.

​@@GreyPunkWolfyeah I commented something similar. I've worked in many different restaurants and we never seasoned salads. We just used fresh ingredients and freshly prepared house made dressings, that makes all the difference.

Right?? Like, I wonder if I could sprinkle just a little powdered ranch (in the seasoning packets) on my salad and save some calories?

That sounds so delicious 😋

Omg that sounds amazing

I season my salads also . I cannot eat bland anything! 🤣

Voting starts next week right?

Any suggestions for homemade dressings?

They put table sugar in fast food salad...🤔🤔🤔 Celery salt is good too!!!!🤗

Lettuce definitely need salt. That goes for tomato and cucumbers...

Try Mrs. Dash on salad. Any flavor. SOOOOO amazing!! ❤

tajin is also really good

It's the mystery...and newness and excitement. Yeah that's probably part of it. The experience and expectation releases chemicals not released probably otherwise but maybe is similar when you are making something for the very first time if it isn't too difficult or frustrating. Mood matters...Ambiance too. Good pts

As someone who has cooked at home for many many years, this is true. When i cook, i have to wait a bit before i eat because I've already been smelling the food for awhile and seeing it and touching it and all that. Sometimes i really don't even want to eat it after I've spent a bunch of time preparing it. This is why I feel the restaurant experience is nice. Plus, a restaurant goes through a lot to make things look good, even if it's something pretty ordinary. So, it feels good to have a nice looking plate of hot food served to you. I mean, you're hungry, it smells good, it looks good. I worked In a restaurant for eleven years and we got to eat cheap as employees, but i rarely ate there either because again, i smelled that food all day.

Such a great point. It's why I cook in small amounts, don't like leftovers.

You are very welcome!
