The Best Green Goddess Salad
I’ve been making a version of the Green Goddess Salad for years, but it is nothing like this viral version made popular on TikTok by Baked By Melissa! What’s amazing about her version is the creamy green goddess salad dressing that covers the salad, making it great for dipping with tortilla chips. If you have a New Year's resolution to eat healthier or go vegan, this salad should be in your recipe book. It’s packed with fresh cabbage, cucumbers, and spinach, tossed with green onions and the most flavorful Green Goddess salad dressing. If you love chopped salads, you are going to love The Best Green Salad. This salad is one of my favorites to make, and you can customize it to your specifications whether you are vegan or not.
