1. Introduction: Hey, guys, I'm Sab Nandwani culinary educator, cookbook author, and we create a lot of culinary courses for you guys on Skillshare. Welcome to our salad master class. In this class, we will go beyond letters and dressing, and I will take you to a different journey in a bowl. In this course, you will learn to build a colorful bowl along with techniques, formula, which are rich in nutrition, and we will also guide you through the nutritional value in the bowl. Come, guys, let's begin with the recipe. First, we're going to build some amazing dressings that you can use in multiple bowls. At the end, you will learn to create your own signature bowl in the project section in the class. So, guys, grab your knife and chopping board, and let's go on an exciting journey of building a salad. 2. Tips and tricks V1: Guys, now, let's talk about styling of a good bowl. Here are a few tips and trips to assemble your bowl well that not only tastes good, but even looks good. Make sure you always use a shallow bowl rather than a flat bowl. Apart from this, always try to use maximum colors in your bowl. And when you will present the bowl, make sure use the contrast colors nearby. Layer the base first, then some toppings, then drizzle. And a final tip. Always use some micro greens or maybe nuts at the end, if required, or maybe some cheese. So that's it, guy. That was quick tips and tricks, and just follow this video. 3. Peri Peri Cottage Cheese Salad: Hey, now let me make some few signature recipes for you guys. Easy to make basic ingredients presented in a beautiful way, good colors, and you will love it for sure. Come. Let's begin with the recipe guys. Now, let's begin with the marinated cottage cheese salad. First, we're going to make a marination for cottage cheese. Again, we're going to use same marination for the dressing in the veggies. Come, let's begin with the recipe guys. Let's begin by roasting some veggies. This salad will give you beautiful, smoky touch and easy to make and pretty much healthy guys. Let's begin by roasting some bell pepper first. You can roast it or bake as well. So, let's roast bell pepper, green chilies, and garlic first. You can also roast on open fire or maybe barbecue or even roast in oven as well. So once this is done, what we're going to do is we're going to cover this for around eight to 10 minutes when they're hot. After 10 minutes, once this cool down, let's remove this skin of bell pepper, green chilies and garlic. Let's begin by adding some smoked garlic, green chilies as per taste. I've used around three to four cloves of garlic. Two chilies. So next I'm using one smoked bell pepper, this is whole. Core is removed from it. I'm using a spoon of yogurt. That's just for the consistency. Next, I'm using some cilentro headful with the stem. This will add freshness through our marination. So that's black pepper. Next I'm adding some salt. Here's a quick tip for you guys. In case you don't have much time, you use cheese instead of yogurt. Come, let's blend this. Let's move ahead now. So right now, I'm using around 100 grams of cotton cheese, and let's add our marination to bowl. Let's marinate this well. The entire portion of cottage cheese should be coated well with the marination. Now, once this is done, let's marinate this for 20 minutes minimum. In case you don't have time, add cheese to this to bind the flavors well. Let's grill cottage cheese now. For around 1 minute, each side on medium flame. Let's flip this and cook this for around one more minute. Let's add some lettuce, and tone Next, I'm adding cherry tomatoes, sliced onions and bell peppers. Next, I'm adding the marination or dressing, whatever you call it. Let's squeeze lemon juice. Now, let's give this a good mix. I'm adding a little bit of parmesan, fresh Parmesan. Again, I will give you a mix. Come, let's serve this. I'm just going to add a slice of cottage cheese. And in case you want, you can also a little bit of extra parmesan on the top. But this is good to go. This is around 380 calories, which has 18 gram protein, 25 grams of fat, and 14 grams of carbs, and three to 5 grams of fiber. This was a good go to recipe, quick to make and tasty, as well. Do try this guys and see you in another recipe. 4. Broccoli And cherry tomato Salad: Come now, let's make a pretty healthy version. Very easy. Very basic ingredients. We are making broccoli salad. We're just going to bake it or roast it or maybe barbecue, whatever you want. Very easy to make Come, let's begin with the recipe, guys. Come, let's boil water first. Guys, we have to make sure about one thing. We are not boiling broccoli. We just going to parboil this. One water is boiled, turn off the flame and we're going to add broccoli to this. For around 3 minutes. Once this is parboil, let's remove this from water. Guys, make sure this is dried well or it won't be cooked properly. Spread this and let it dry for another one or 2 minutes. Let's begin by adding some oil first. Any cooking oil works. Come, let's add some garlic first. Next we're going to add broccoli. Make sure this dried well. And let's cook this on medium flame for a couple of minutes. I'm just going to add salt.
