i like some crunch in my chicken salad, besides the basic chopped merely…which is enough…but sometimes i like a little driend cranberries, and dried basil into the mix….or chopped pecans…something more
I don't like tuna but I would totally eat that tuna salad as a chicken salad
Do you tweak the dishes after filming so that you, your family, and the crew will enjoy them more?
Matthew’s salad is not letting anything go to waste. Thats wise.
what would you use instead of orange juice?
It probably needs sour cream. I make mine almost the same way, but use both mayo & sour cream, which makes it not so flat.
Id put celery instead of corn 🌽 and I can’t do wasabi’s 😂
Ty❤
Anistons salad is similar to a hoagie salad with some different meats.
I can’t find the exact amounts in the Guy salad or the chicken salad. ???
Regarding Jennifer Anniston's Friendship salad, I only like garbanzo beans as humus, I never eat them otherwise. Any substitution suggestions ?
I cannot use mayo. I use buttermilk dressing in my salads. I just cannot do the taste of mayo.
Anniston’s salad would be healthier without the salami. Cured and deli meats are highly processed and unhealthy. I would add hard boiled egg or avacodo or quinoa instead.
For the macdaddio salad, you could substitute HONEY mustard and get that tiny bit of sweet you need…😉
I love everything that you prepared .. all genius and yummy. You are doing an amzing and inspiring job .. for that 10/10 🎉❤🎉
Love that you are candid about changes you’d make to Guy Fieri’s macaroni salad. I am with you on needing to add some sweet to offset all the tangy. The garlic sounds a but too much for most people and might need to be cut back or omitted!
Jennifer Aniston's salad is the one for me! 🥗😊 I prefer my own versions of the others.
Yum 😋 🥗
Would you use lime instead of orange , kind of like street corn ???
I need to find those jalapeno chips. I’ve never seen them .
Lettuce has bitamins and minerals, including folate.
Not once is my 73 years have I mistaken oatmeal for a salad.
Chicken salad is amazing but you have to add onion, dill relish, a little juice from the relish, mayo, maybe a touch of ceasar dressing, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
The Jennifer Aniston salad recipes I’ve seen are totally different from this one. Is there more than one version?
Trying to get your 5 fav salads to take to a get together! Won’t come up? 🫤
I always add a little mustard and pickle juice to chicken salad.
Oh Matthew…

How'd she do with your Tuna salad ?
th is champagne vinegar?
who the hell is Jennifer Aniston?
I love Iceburg lettuce, that’s all I eat!
Capers for the Bethenny chicken salad.
I DO NOT EAT TURKEY BACON IT SUCK'S! TURKEY MAKE'S ME WANNA PUKE MY GUT'S OUT! BUT I LOVE YOU!!!!NO PEAS FOR ME! MACARONI THE SAN FRANCISCO TREAT BUT NOT FOR ME!!!
Mustard powder, chopped pickles and some chopped grapes or granny smith apples
Looks great
I always put a little Italian dress in tuna sweet relish is really good
Croutons
Who cares about a celebrity
The chicken salad add chopped up olives and a little of the juice, makes the perfect saled
As Annie Lennox said in her song "keep young and beautiful if you want to be loved". Sad. Please no more diet culture/fatphobic micro aggressions. They are toxic to recovering anorexics.
I like making nacho salad
nachos with chopped or shredded lettuce & avocado
with Ranch dressing.
I also like adding a combination of greens
to the iceberg for variety
& to make it healthier
& sprinkle some roasted
or raw sunflowers or pumpkin seeds on top.
You can add ANY type
of cheese beets or chopped veggies to make any type
of salad & one of my faves
is any type of fruit with some
coconut cream & a little drizzle of honey. 😋❤️🍲🥗🥥🍯
