As I started watching this video and seeing the ingredients, I"m like... Oh, a summer salad. I then found myself waiting for the chickpeas to show up (because I didn't read pasta salads in the title). Then suddenly... ELBO MACARONI! (Insert GASP!) This video made me realize I haven't seen a macaroni salad at a family event since Mom died in 2015! I had forgotten all about them! She used to make salads in those big 5 quart Tupperware bowls with the snap on lids. A Midwestern mom necessity. It was as if those bowls were part of a societal "starter kit" for women in the 50's and 60's. UHG! So many thoughts swirling through my head. This was one of Mom's summer staples. How could it have gotten so forgotten?! Macaroni salads are SOOOOOOO versatile and customizable. Mom would always use hard boiled eggs and tuna in her salads. Why this is my memory I don't know? One of the key herbs I would encourage you to consider.... DILL! Mom's salads always popped with dill. And your comment about not wanting to be on the receiving end of.... So; Who made the pasta salad? I almost spit out my coffee in laughter. Thanks for all these memories. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Stay amazing and keep up the great work! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAACCCCCCCE!
Love this one!! The "concrete" Tupperware's LOL! Those things should be heirlooms.... I didn't show me cutting it but i added dill, because MOM's know best! You can see it in the final shot of that first one (the mac one). I am so so happy I was able to help encourage the memory bank. Great memories are worth more than everything! thanks for sharing! 🤗
Happy Father’s Day! Theses are perfect work lunch salads! I like how you cut peppers to remove the seeds and the trick to cutting the tomatoes. Thank you ❤
Love the style of your videos and the content. I am using whole food plant based foods to help manage my MS symptoms and gain inspiration from many of your recipes!
@@Sarod2023 excellent!! In addition to my medication, I eat a whole food plant based diet, exercise regularly, get good sleep, and practice mindfulness/kindness. All of these are key to my health and well being. My first symptoms were in 2006, but I was not diagnosed until 2017. I am still doing very well!
The macaroni salad was definitely not "minimal effort" but it was AMAZING and every bite was worth the labor. Will definitely make it again. Thank you for the recipe and video!
Thanks. I love pasta salads. Perfect for the Summer. All three look delicious. I definitely will be forwarding these recipes to my daughter. As always thanks for the helpful hints. 😊 Happy Father’s Day.
I died at Bob Dente and Steve Dente 🤣 I literally missed the next minute or so of the video cuz I was laughing so hard. This is my kind of humor lol. Aw but poor baby whisk felt left out today 😆 Excellent video once again!
So glad Little Whisk had a cameo! It must have been feeling left out with the big noisy immersion blender stepping in. Love pasta salad for summer! These look spectacular, and the tips are awesome. Thank you.
These three recipes are delicious!! The pesto is the best I've ever had. The Italian pasta didn't last long. The macaroni salad was so yummy. I love them all.
I love your videos. I sooooo appreciate your breakdowns at the end. Instead of just learning a recipe, I feel I’m slowly learning the art of cooking. Keep the videos coming! I’m not even vegan but you’re my go-to TH-cam chef.
Apart from the great recipes, you have a beautiful and positive community in the comments. Some are excited to try your recipes, some feel nostalgic as the recipes bring back the memories, some are healing themselves through better food and some are just like me trying to discover new way of preparing the same dish we’ve known for ages ❤ Love from Myanmar
That first salad is soooo German! 😅 But we prefer sour gherkins instead of the sweet Gherkins aka Cornichons... And I like to boil the pasta in vegetable broth for more taste...
I love pasta salads the first one is how I make mine. I also make a ranch pasta salad, MLT pasta salad like blt but mushrooms and a regular Italian one I was full of pasta two months ago it’s all I ate so yummy thanks for this video
No fair. All I’ve been seeing on my timeline is pasta and I’m trying to be low carb. I just may cave. Just for one day. 😂 everything looks delish as usual
the creamy italian dressing was mind blowing!!! why have i never seen this done before! totally making that this weekend but honestly...i'm gonna add a lot more garlic😅
Wow … great recipe…I made the vegan parmesan and I too thought of adding chickpeas but my husband said it was perfect without… this will now become a regular
Oh my goodness! I want to start making all three at once! Can't wait to test them with my little ones... They are going to love those pasta salads! Thanks for your great recipes!
Wow, these look positively amazing! I'll never look at pasta salad the same way again😋 And also just when I thought I had seen every way to dissect a bell pepper you proved me wrong😉 Lucky kids to have you for a Dad❣
I want to thank you for these delicious salads. Still today, friends and family are request them when I'm putting together a gathering, bbq or whatever, they want these salads. I've perfected them now. Have a few more of your dishes up my sleeve. Your awesome, thank you again!!
Wait are we not supposed to be rinsing the pasta with cold water to help it cool down? Won't it keep cooking if we let it cool by itself? I'll def be trying all of these - thank you! Perfect for lunches during the week for me and the kiddos 😊
you certainly can! but as long as you dont wait too long when you take it off the stove and drain, it wont keep cook so much that its going to be a awful texture.
My guy. I just made the macaroni salad and Oh. My. God. I swear every recipe I make by you or your wife always turns out so damn delicious! Never change and please keep the recipes coming!
I love it when there is bell pepper in a salad or food, because I get to share the core with seeds with my budgies ❤ I will try all of these for sure in the coming weeks to liven up my usual dinners. Thank you for yet another great video.
Awesome! Thanks. Hemp seeds are pretty good in pesto too. And I've even used pumpkin seeds. Yum. We don't see nutritional yeast in your videos often. Say more....❤️
Ur very interesting! Thks for sharing such prep friendly and awesomely healthy meals And intro to Cultural cooking, spices and flavors. Ur storytime is the best pairing of da show. It's like being right there with u! And removes weakness of trying the recipe for the 1st go.👍
First- LOVE the beard. Second, great videos as I am learning a great deal on more Vegan recipes. I'm not vegan but do like to incorporate vegan meals and sometimes vegan days into my diet so having this resource is great. Wish I could do more, but living/travelling in an RV limits my culinary choices so simple, great tasting recipes are what I am looking for.
I made the first salad (with some substitutions for what I had on hand). It was delicious! I'll be making it again. My substitutions were: bowtie pasta instead of elbows, white onion instead of red, no olive oil, Japanese mayo but used less ( for lower calories) and added Greek yogurt to make up for the quantity, I didn't have sweet pickles, so I use cornichon (and juice) which I always have on hand, I used honey instead of sugar/agave, and since I don't have a blender, I just hand stirred, and finally I forgot to add scallion, but I would have subbed garlic chives because that is what I always have growing in my garden. It's a lot of changes/subs, but goes to show what a great recipe it is, that you can use what you have on hand and it still results in deliciousness!
And that is what I say about my chili let it sit overnight in the fridge just uncovered, unstirred, and like Andrew says let the spices come together, and it's no wonder why chili can easily be 4⭐⭐
For the Vegan Pesto Pasta, can you substitute the food processor with a standard blender? Also, can you substitute pine nuts with cashews? By the way I am new to your channel, and you also earned a new subscriber.
Looks fabulous, and I’ll be adding them to my summer hits list, thank you. Do you think you’ll ever post a recipe for Trinidad doubles? I know the barra are usually fried, but they are just so delicious, so I’d love to see your take on the recipe.
I went to my aunt’s 90th birthday party and one of her daughters made this very pasta you’ve described. The dressing was yummy, and the pasta was the perfect texture, not over cooked or squishy and not too may veggies. It was so simple and so good. 😊 I love pasta with slivered carrots, zucchini, herbs and a good squeeze of lemon juice are Parmesan 🤤
I have a question. Without trying - wouldn't it be better to NOT toss the pasta with oil and toss it with your dressing to start? If you toss your pasta with oil, it seems like that would keep it from clinging to all that yummy dressing you're making... Wouldn't the flavors ve better if you first toss the pasta with your dressing and then your add ins? Just curious if that would make a difference.
great question!! You want to toss your past with oil because you have to give it time to cool down and during that process not stick to each other. The past is very porous, especially when heat it up, therefore the tablespoon or less of oil that is used to help it not stick will technically be sucked up for the most part. You may not want to use the dressing because of a few reasons. You will have less dressing when bringing the whole salad together, the dressing is heavier than just oil so it may trap the steam and that may cause it to become "watery". Hope this helps!
Where does one go shopping for vegan ingredients? I’ve tried multiple stores and I haven’t found one where I can buy almost if not all vegan ingredients example cheese or yogurt.

What a great video! I am all set for summer! I love a scoop of pasta salad over my green salad, no dressing needed!
🇯🇲 Thanks a million from Jamaica - Great Vegan recipes- also known as “Ital” in Jamaican cuisine! 👏🏽👏🏽Bless up!
🙌🏾 YAS!!!
Happy Father's Day!
Will make this special salad!
thank you so much!
I’m not a big pasta salad fan but I will definitely try these three salads!
Hope you enjoy! 🤗
I'm Italian and I love your videos, now I'm hungry 😜
🙌🏾 😂
That first salad is soooo German! 😅 But we prefer sour gherkins instead of the sweet Gherkins aka Cornichons... And I like to boil the pasta in vegetable broth for more taste...
definitely a good tip!
That is what I do too: I make a mix of veggie and chicken stock powder to boil pasta in an I always have it at hand. Delicious. 👍
I love pasta salads the first one is how I make mine. I also make a ranch pasta salad, MLT pasta salad like blt but mushrooms and a regular Italian one I was full of pasta two months ago it’s all I ate so yummy thanks for this video
🙌🏾 aye! love it!
All three pasta salads look absolutely delicious I’ll try one for my picnic this Saturday 👍🏽
hope you enjoy!!
Love that cherry tomato cutting trick. Everything looks amazing!
So glad to see you back on the overhead camera!
🙌🏾 seems to be the most helpful, you know!?
Dropping another heater before summer! Appreciate the motivation and inspiration!
😮💨 all day 💪🏾
The way you cut the cherry tomatoes 🤯
❤
the little conveniences! 🤗
No fair. All I’ve been seeing on my timeline is pasta and I’m trying to be low carb. I just may cave. Just for one day. 😂 everything looks delish as usual
😂 😂 thank you!
If you do cave, the chickpea pasta is a great option 😊
the creamy italian dressing was mind blowing!!! why have i never seen this done before! totally making that this weekend but honestly...i'm gonna add a lot more garlic😅
Wow … great recipe…I made the vegan parmesan and I too thought of adding chickpeas but my husband said it was perfect without… this will now become a regular
You make me Happy😊...I can always count on you to recreate my favorite dishes with vegan substitutes
You could use some cubed extra firm tofu in the salads as it would absorb the flavour and people would think it’s hard boiled egg lol
Oh my goodness! I want to start making all three at once!
Can't wait to test them with my little ones... They are going to love those pasta salads!
Thanks for your great recipes!
hope you all enjoy! 🙌🏾
The acid-first tip? Who knew? The bowl-to-hold-cherry-toms trick? Holy cats! These all look freaking yummy!
🙌🏾 thanks, Lorraine!
Thanks for sharing!! I, also, have gotten away from pasta salads. I will definitely use these recipes during the summer!! 😊
Hope you enjoy 🤗
Wow, these look positively amazing! I'll never look at pasta salad the same way again😋 And also just when I thought I had seen every way to dissect a bell pepper you proved me wrong😉 Lucky kids to have you for a Dad❣
something about watching you cook is very relaxing!! Thank you!
Thank you! Happy Father’s Day!

Everything looks delicious. And Happy Father’s Day 😊

I learned how to cut bell peppers best from you! Thank you

Possibly!
I enjoyed this video,thanks for sharing
Thanks! ♥️
You're welcome 😊
You are funny and your recipes are really cool. Thanks and have a great day 🌺🌸🌺

Tendaroni! Do whatever you like with that. Yeah, I know I'm dating myself, but, I couldn't resist! 😁

im from italy and this is kinda good, gj
Pasta salad needs to actually be made with dedication and finesse, I leave some functions feeling offended 😅😂
😂 ahh the truth in this!

Instead of cutting pickles I like to grate them
thats a good move!
The loud food processor sound was like a jump scare😭😂😂
😂 im so sorry!!
