[psychobitches2686]

Made this last night so I could eat for lunch today at work...even brought some for a co-worker after sharing a picture of it on my Facebook account! I absolutely love it!!! I also made your vinaigrette salad dressing that you made in another video and I loved with with my mixed green salad and baked portabello mushroom!!

[DrMasaaki]

What about adding some potassium rich food like kiwi and banana?

[missyxxxsorted]

@DrMasaaki banana and kiwi would taste horrible in it?

[TheUniqorn]

Oh wow das sieht echt toll aus! Muss ich mal ausprobieren!!

[Lovelybeautyluver]

[Tinii3Mel]

@Lovelybeautyluver she used plain yogurht ;)

[Frizzin]

[DrMasaaki]

@Frizzin lettuce

[KatieCuppyCakeMakeUp]

I tried this and it was AMAZING! I made it for 6 people and everyone loved it!!! I paired it with chicken breasts on the side with a piece of bread. Even my cousin who is a picky eater loved it! Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe. You make cooking so easy! Please make more videos! I can't wait to try your most recent fish and mushroom spinach recipe! =) Hope you're doing well!!!

[KatieCuppyCakeMakeUp]

[Kilee33]

@RosyJuneDoll I put a few squirts of lemon juice and water in a big bowl and rinse the veggies/fruit in it.

[DaniDeelish]

Can you please do a boyfriend tag? Thumbs up if you agree!

[LizKS48]

By the way Julia, will you tell me/us what you do with your bell peppers? I love them but never know what to do with them other than eating them. ;D How do you use them in a recipe? ♥

[LizKS48]

I don't usually watch cooking videos or shows for that matter. They make me so hungry!! ;D But, I decided to watch your shopping videos to see what you bought at the market and your cooking vids popped up so....here I am. ;) This salad looks delicious and I am going to have to make it! I don't like hot sauce or mint so will make it without. Everything else looks delicious and I have never made a salad with vegtables and fruit tog. so this will be interesting. Thanks for doing these! ♥

[caraddatz]

I made this with 1 can of chickpeas, 1 can of pinto beans, cucumber, orange pepper, scallions, tomato, peach, 1/2 plum, feta cheese, 0% greek fage yogurt, dried basil, celery salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar and olive oil....and took a few bites and man was it delicious...I had my parents tried it and they loved it...now its in the fridge, can't wait to have some for dinner!!!! thanks Julia!

[TinuvielResurrected]

I just made it this afternoon and it's really delicious! Thank you very much for this recipe, it's so refreshing and perfect for summer.

[frauke2008]

ich finde deine kochvideos so klasse. ich mache seit einem monat weight watchers und mit ein paar änderungen sind deine gerichte für mich super zum nachkochen. gerne mehr! :)

[Yipenyapen]

Love it! More cooking/recipe videos please, Julia! :) x

[justdefymygravity]

I saw this the day that you uploaded this, but today i decided to try it! I'm not a fan of beans AT ALL, but surprisingly i really liked this recipe! The apples and the apple vinegar made a huge difference, as well as the Feta cheese! Now i have a huge container of it in my fridge(:

[Karaisoke]

I'm totally going to make this later. But I'll use chickpeas/garbanzo beans, black beans, and avocado. I love apples and pears in salads, but I'm not a fan of celery. Since it's not cooked I shouldn't hate it to much. Thanks for the recipe.

[minanak66]

im in love!!! i dont like yogurt and bean in my mind they just dont mix, but i just know my the different thing its so worth giving a try! know it'll taste graet xoxo* Thanks :) you have any more salads this tasty???

[pyang264]

[christinamav]

greek feta cheese+greek olive oil! it's time you made a greek makeup video too!

[TheZombietart]

I tried this recipe last night with some BBQ chicken. I absolutely LOVE this recipe. I have been looking for ways to cook low carb that didn't include odd ingredients that I have never heard of before. I have favorited all of the recipes that are on your site. Please don't stop adding them!

I also found another member that I think has an amazing stash of easy fast recipes that are amazing. Hi name on here is Bowulf.

Julia keep up the amazing work you look more beautiful than ever!

[JezebelInHell]

Yeah Julia go for feta cheese! I am from Greece you should come here and eat the best feta cheese + and olive oil! I would try this recipe! Please do more videos like this!

[xTinyBearHugx]

[dagliocchibui]

So I made it today and... it tastes really great!!! Thanks a lot for yet another delicious recipe :) Can't wait for more! :****

[dagliocchibui]

I'm trying this today. I just hope the beans won't make my belly swell like they tend to do...

[krista1408]

This was fab, the boyfriend loved it too,

[vickijeanna]

I love beans and veggies, so this recipe looks absolutely delicious! Can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing :)

[MissSmileyable]

Thank you so much for this easy recipe !!! i m french and i follow all your video especialy your cooking video and i have made this great and easy salad today and all the family was happy with it, it was delicious so Thank you so much to give us your ideas. Hope you continue like that !

[CanadianPrinc3ss]

This looks so good! I think I'll try it tonight!

Do you have any recipe books you would suggest for low carb diet? Do you make up these recipes yourself?

[erdbeemond]

schmeckt auch sehr lecker wenn man ruccola und garnelen dazu mischt :)

[daydreams4rock]

excellent 

[MenmaDragneel]

loads of Greek products! I'm happy you use my country's products over there!

[cr1stabel]

Made this and it was delicious! It's a very complete and balanced recipe ! My boyfriend absolutely LOVED it! Him as well your boyfriend hates apples in salad so I didn't tell him either and he ate it all! Thank you Julia!

[GiouliandKostas2009]

I'm hungry now... It looks so yammyyyyy!!! :DDDDD

[tlbradshaw1]

I have been following you for a while. I just wanted to say how proud I am of you for your new healthy lifestyle. Thank you for sharing it with us. Big Hugs!

[bobbigirl999]

I love your big cutting board .Where did you get that ?

[arsc311]

what can i use to substitute the yogurt?

[HaydenSmitherines]

mmmmmm:) I made this for dinner tonight! Ive never used parsley before and i learned that you MUST cut it finely and its easier to cook with cooking scissors. I substituted the apple vinegar with another spoon of olive oil. i used pinto beans instead of berlotti and Texas Pete instead of tobasco sauce and i didnt use any cheese:) It was great!!! especially with the apple. I think im gonna add sharp cheddar to the leftovers and see how it tastes:) Thanks for sharing the recipe!! :)

[makeupjunkie03]

the apple thing is too funny! Im always secretly adding things to my boyfriends food too. Ex: He says he HATES curry and I just broke the news to him that "buttered Chicken" has curry

[CatherineSolo]

I heart beans, yay!

[arsc311]

going to try this out for the weekend. my kids will love it thanks

[biancajorgenson]

This is an amazing salad! We made it tonight for sinner with some fish as the main and it was amazing :) thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Please keep sharing more great ideas for salads :)

[superloveandbeauty]

that looks absolutely delicous i love cucumber it adds a nice freshness to salads. i am definitely going to make this. thanks :)

[xevilsuziex]

I made this salad today, with the addition of a few kalamata olives and dried cranberries. It's a great salad and very filling! Thanks for the recipe!

[anijanka]

i love salads too<3

[dieKimx3]

wooooaaaah *O*

DER SiEHT SOOOOOO LECKER AUS *O*

ich will den jetzt essen ! :D

aber mal ehrlich ich bin grade echt am überlegen ob ich in die salatbar bei uns um die ecke gehen soll um mir nen salat zu kaufen ;D

[OliveOanx]

Just had it for dinner and it was great! Ok, so I didn't add the celery...anyway I didn't believe I can be so excited about a salad, but this one totally did the trick and the apple was a yummy touch :-)

[rowe0158]

what kind of apple did you use?

[ELU2334]

Ich habe den Salat gestern gemacht und er war suuuuuuper fein!!!

Ich liebe Deine Rezept-Videos!!!!!!!!!!! Ich hoffe, Du machst in Zukunft noch mehr davon :-)

[Nefertiti7070]

Made this today - not a big bean fan but used 1/2 can of black beans and added an avocado instead of more beans - you're right about the apple, it does add so much - It's absolutely delicious, thanks so much for this recipe, it's exactly what I needed to change up what I've been eating!

[TheThirdShift]

@Nefertiti7070 glad you liked it :)

[somethinguncreative]

I made this last night and omg! This is so damn good. There's a slight south east Asian note to it (maybe the parsley or mint is causing it?). Absolutely love it. Of course I'm from California, so I threw in a small avacado, so it's slightly higher in fat than your version, but still plenty of nutrition and good. :)

Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with us.

[teressa18]

just made this ... yum!!!!!! seem to make alot more than your pic tho...

[skywalkerssp]

gorgeous salad... I love colors in salad and in my food.. Great recipe julia.. :)

[SimplyMaya13]

I am SO trying this one out. Actually, I think I'm going to make most of the dishes in your Healthy Cooking series.

[MichCoccaBene]

Julia, what do you serve this with?

I'm saving all your recipes to a playlist because they're original and awesome not to mention following your way of eating seems like a great idea bec you look amazing!

xo Michele

[LINAKI123]

[LairyLory]

chefkoch.de/rezepte/1450381249­912138/Mediterraner-Brokkoli-S­alat.html

[Poorstargazer23]

I'm not a huge yogurt fan, I don't really care for the tangy taste of it, especially when you get a flavored on, but I've found that plain greek yogurt is less tangy, almost tastes like sour cream but a bit thicker, and still offers the benefits of yogurt.

[pencilcaseize]

I made this today (sans the yogurt and apples) and it was absolutely awesome!!!

[BeatriceD]

activia is loaded with sugar

[leann2662]

Just made this salad for lunch today and it's absolutely amazing!! Thanks for the recipe ideas. =)

[Ntinaki666]

[Ntinaki666]

[ABeautyAddict]

I need to try this!!!

[figuremom]

Yummy... I am gonna definitely give it s try as I love salads.

[sheyuru]

yummy it looks delish i def going to try it! ooxoxo

[melsdowninit]

That looks delicious, I love those types of salads as well. Lettuce and dressing is boring, even if people use like 4 different types of lettuce... It's still boring. Love your recipes.

[Lovelybeautyluver]

Hi i love how u stay motivate i was on diet for 3 months and lot about 12 pounds but i lost my motivation any advice? i will really appreciate it.:)

[CharlotteSophiaSF]

This video didn't show up in my sub box so I'm glad i came over to this channel to look at other stuff. This salad looks amazing! Can't wait to make it. Thanks Julia!

[addie899]

Salad for my family has always meant lettuce and tomato with ranch. Then, one day, my mom felt like acting "fancy" and bought croutons. Haha! This does look very delicious! I'm definitely gonna give it a try and show my mom a thing or two ;D lol.

AHHHHH thanks for these videos!!!! I love them soooo much !!!! Cant wait to try this. PLEASE dont stop making cooking videos !!!!!!!!!

[Ashley11021]

I made this today w/o the celery and it is soooo good!

[LexSwift]

Why must you make me so hungry?! Your cooking looks amazing.

[TheKrystahlPhoenix]

@LoriFLA Ah, ok. Thanks. And thanks to you too ThirdShift for your replies. It's definitely helped to open my eyes. Oh, and I was mistaken; apparently Activia is supposed to help regulate your digestive health. But something tells me I don't need sugar and whatever else Activia adds, to do that.

[jojoherz]

Just made it today and it really is delicious, thank you so much for the recipe! I added artichekes and dried tomaoes as well. I made a large bowl, too and am excited for my lunch tomorrow. ^^

i also tried your grilled veggies/roasted chicken recipe and it is soooo amazingly yummi! even my BF wanted a refill of the veggies and normally he hates almost anything healthy. 0.o so thank you again!

[TheThirdShift]

@jojoherz wow I'm so happy for you and your bf :) yay!

[TheKrystahlPhoenix]

Wow. I'm so at a loss. But this plain yogurt, isn't it kinda...nasty tasting? I'm all for eating healthy, but if it's something that's yucky, forget it. I'd just as soon starve. I know about how if you eat less than you work off, you'll lose weight, but I thought I was actually doing something good by eating this Activia yogurt.

[TheKrystahlPhoenix]

Oh wow. Even though they guarantee that you will lose weight, or your money back? *is all bummed out now*

[TheThirdShift]

@TheKrystahlPhoenix There's no magical yogurt that will make you thin. You have to burn off more calories through physical activity than you put in your body to lose weight, that's it. Sugared yogurts are added empty calories - plain yogurt is lower in calories. Here in Switzerland Activia is not allowed to make any of those weightloss claims in their ads because there is no proof behind it.

[TheKrystahlPhoenix]

But Activia is purported to help you lose weight. Have you tried it?

[TheThirdShift]

@TheKrystahlPhoenix It's a marketing gimmick. A lot of products try to market themselves as "healthy" - but the fact is that they are full of sugar which is unnecessary calories and carbohydrates. Sure, it's maybe better than eating ice cream but there's still a lot of sugar added in them which you have to burn off otherwise it turns to fat.

[TheKrystahlPhoenix]

I can't wait to try this. I do have one question: Can I substitute the yogurt you used for Activia yogurt? The kind that comes in peaches or strawberries?

Thanks!

*cheers*

[TheThirdShift]

@TheKrystahlPhoenix Hm that might taste weird...

[TheKrystahlPhoenix]

@TheThirdShift Really? Is there something I can take out of it, in order to use it? The reason is, is because I am trying eat better all the way around, and everyday I always eat one of those cups. If not, tis ok.

[TheThirdShift]

@TheKrystahlPhoenix To be honest fruit yogurts aren't very good if you're trying to watch your diet because they're full of sugar. You're better off just having plain non-sugared yogurt and add a handful of fresh berries to it :) Just a tip. I used to eat fruit yogurts all the time too.

[oOAbbeyOoO]

i hate beans!! but however this salad looks sooooo yummy, i'll try to substitute beans with something else!

[Sugarfix1980]

I'm a vegetarian & this looks yummy, I'm gonna make some soon!

Thanks for sharing, would love to see more veggie recipes lol ;)

[katzzSD]

it looks delicious! i would like to see how you make chicken alfredo sauce!

plssss...thank u!

[makeuplover4379]

and you use Greek olive oil (from Kalamata in particular) gosh you are good!!!

[makeuplover4379]

oh you use feta!!!!i love you more now!!!i'm Greek!!!!

[aplaingirl]

Throw in an avacado and I'm so there!  Yum!

[Monkmiester]

Thanks for sharing! I enjoy these videos!

[luensfrau]

gibts eine alternative zum apfelessig?

[TheThirdShift]

@luensfrau Anderen Essig einfach - was auch immer. Oder Zitronensaft...

[jodiburkeonline]

I tried this last night and I LOVE it! Thank you so much for the recipe :)

[allydarkness86]

[MichCoccaBene]

This salad looks absolutely delish!

[pencilcaseize]

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CANNOT DO!?!?

[Hanawasaki]

Mmmmm this looks so good! I might try this with some avocado in too! :D

[obsessedwithclouds]

I can't believe I just found your food videos, because I watch your make up videos all the time. I love your approach to healthy eating and meal planning. There are so many 'fad diets' out there. You are doing it right - incorporating all healthy foods in moderation!

[dementialies]

I love watching your cooking videos because I have ALL the same products as you living in a German speaking country! :)

[madameir]

looks so good!

[yoitsell]

looks delicious<3

[Lagocephalus]

I never thought bean salad would look appetizing to me, but here you go :D I'm a big salad lover otherwise though, so I might actually try this! Thanks for uploading :)

[dragonweengs]

My family loves salads too! Yummy! I've been putting strawberries in my salads this summer :b mom uses apples alot in salads so I was tired of that and wanted to experiment, pretty delicious :D

[celestinedailylife]

U look good n that look good. Lol

[stockham]

I never thought about putting apple in a salad!  Definitely going to be trying this!

[spitfirelucid]

ooo plain yogurt is a good idea to add some "dressing"!

[frndzever]

u chop really wel..im nt so gud at choppin...

[ForeverMyselfGaby]

I will definitely try this , looks so delicious :D

I think you inspired a lot of people to eat healthier! You helped me alot with your recipes and I lost 6 kg so far without starving .A few kg left there but I'm working on them too :))

[CaliDude1984]

I love making Tomato and Onion Salad. You have actually given me a great idea. I think feta cheese would be superb in the Tomato and Onion Salad.

A-plus video!

[galadrialsphial]

I don't tell my husband when I put fruit in the salad. The only time he complains is when I point out that it is in there.

[shannonleta]

yUMMM

[SeeingSunshine]

This looks so good, I love your cooking videos!

[xILYSFM]

definitely gonna try this out when i get the chance! looks amazing! thanks for sharing <3

[cantthinkofaname30]

My husband and I are following a very similar diet plan to yours and we've been doing well so far...I love these videos because it's sometimes hard to come up with something new and interesting other than meat and steamed veg all the time...Thankyou so so much for these videos :)

[TheRealAriana]

Looks so delicious!! I would seriously hire you as my personal chef if I were rich!!

[1920Zenith]

Going to try it Sunday to take for lunch next week! Thanks.

[wallflowerification]

haha, you're so sneaky to add the apple xD

[ColorDivaPRDR]

perfect for all the sumner bbq too... Sure beats a pasta or potato salad!

[alimack42long]

[Deseonfire]

Mmm, this looks so good. I also love feta cheese, I could just eat feta cheese all day along with olives. I'm definitely going to make this.
