I love this lady! She's so happy and bright, how refreshing! All of her recipes are great and I think she does a wonderful job in her videos explaining the details. God bless this woman.

I made it today with grilled chicken tenders and a side of hummus, dukkah, and grill-toasted flatbread. It was absolutely delish! Wife and kids literally vacuumed the plates. Thanks for the inspiration!

Susie, a great set of knives is a must for someone who enjoys cooking like you do. I have a set from the company Cutco. They are very expensive, but so very good. It makes food prep a piece of cake. I no longer buy precut vegetables since I bought these knives.

Tried this! (I’ve really been haunting this channel lately, trying out different recipes...) Loooved it! Super delicious! I’m really a passionate salad lady through and through and it hit the spot just right for me. Thank you!

Looks delicious! Thank you.

Happy to find this channel

That looks amazing!!!! I want to make that!!

Very useful, love it ,thank you

Suzy this looks yum!!I love this salad Bella!!👍🤩

My doctor had me to switch to the Mediterranean diet because of an autoimmune condition called Sjorgen syndrome. It said it will help to reduce inflammation. So in my research I can across your channel. I will add this to my menu. It looks delicious. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

Glad I found your channel Suzy! Love your style and recipes!

RE: Knives Regardless of the brand, if used regularly, all knives need to be sharpened about every six months. A new knife is also going to feel awkward in your hands. A few suggestions: 1) Get a 1,000/6,000 combined sharpening stone and watch KZreads on how to sharpen knives from Burrfection. You CAN bring that old, cheap knife back to life and you won’t be intimidated by having to learn how to sharpen a new, more expensive set. Spend time on the 6,000 grit side of the stone to get it razor sharp! Stropping helps too, but isn’t necessary. 2) Regardless how slight, using a knife blade as a scraper ( 2:38 ) will dull the knife. Admittedly, I’m sometimes guilty of this, but I try to flip the knife over and use the spine to scrape food into a bowl whenever I can. 3) Honing the knife with a steel before every use will help MAINTAIN THE EDGE. Using a steel WILL NOT keep a knife sharp. 4) Keep knives sheathed or in a block to keep the edge from getting dinged. Many just let their knives float in a drawer without protection 😖. “May the odds be ever in your favor”

If you need to sharp your knife use the bottom or a plate or mug and use the edge. That way I sharp my knives. They are from ikea but they really work

Global Knives.... I’ve had mine for years and Williams Sonoma will sharpen them for free.

Made this today 5/20/21......it is AMAZING😋 thank you💞

About your knife…. I sharpen my inexpensive knives each time I use them , before and after using them, so they stay sharp. One thing that dulls a knife is using it to scoop up the chopped bits by dragging the sharpened edge across the cutting board. If you want to use it to scoop the bits, turn the knife over so the unsharpened edge scrapes on the board. Give it a try😉

Zwilling Henckels Proffessional knife, expensive but great quality.

Rada is a good brand. They also sell a sharpener

Just a note about the olive oil: try Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I find it cheaper and as good if not better than greek. Said this I just suscribed to your channel. Fantastic recipes!! Thanks so much.

Shun knives. Standard chef and pairing knife is all you need and not too expensive. Thanks for the recipes!

This looks so yummy! How long would this stay good in the fridge for?

Trying this one out today! Made your money bean salad recipe to go with dinner last night and WOW it was sooooooooo delicious!!!!! I am wondering if I can use rosemary in a fresh salad or if that’d be too overwhelming. I do love using it for baked meats but wasn’t sure about fresh salads. What do you think?

Great idea for a t shirt. “Be one with the garlic”. Love it

wusthof or global. nice and sharp

Doctor told me to go on a mediterranean diet so I guess this is a good start

You asked for knife recommendations. I have three. You must try a knife yourself, its a very personal choice. Kitchen Aid has a very good line, holds an edge well. Wolfgang Puck has excellent knives. Elegant steak knives. Weighty, good feel. My all time favorite though is from a company called Chicago Cutlery. Sharp sharp sharp. All worth a try.

Really wonderful chef’s knives are made by Chicago Cutlery. All their knives are great. They are perfectly balanced, and very comfortable to the hand. It’s my absolute go to knife for everything. Mine is a six inch, wooden handle. (And I put it in the dishwasher😱). It’s thin enough for tomatoes, and will cut London broil into nice thin even slices too. They hold an edge for a looonnngggg time. They are also reasonably priced. I also highly recommend German made knives. Forget the Japanese knives hype, I’ve never seen one that can hold a candle to Chicago or Henkles. Thank you for yet another yummy recipe!

I love all sorts of beans and cook them a lot. Not sure if you used salt to cook your chickpeas, but salt will toughen up the bean. It's best to use salt or anything that contains a salt for after they're cooked.
