While I might not fully understand the world of Tik Tok, I cannot deny that it’s inadvertently introduced me to some very tasty recipes. There was the viral baked feta pasta, the genius tortilla hack, and now the Green Goddess Salad. The concept of the Green Goddess dressing is nothing new, but this version comes together into something far tastier than it has any right to be. That’s right, health and tasty. Suddenly those New Year’s resolutions seem far more attainable than they did before!

While the ingredient list may look a little long, trust us, this salad is still easy-peasy to throw together. First off, you’ll add all of the ingredients for the dressing into a food processor or blender. The basil and garlic are really the stars of the show here, but you’ve also got a hefty cup of spinach and a handful to nuts to round things out. We went with walnuts, keeping with a pesto-type of base, but cashews or pecans would also be tasty. That’s the great thing about this dressing, it’s very versatile to suit what you have on hand.

Once your dressing is good and smooth, you’ll pour it over your chopped veggies and toss it all together. The salad is ready to be served at this point, but I prefer to let it sit an hour or two before digging in so the cabbage can soften and soak up all the delicious flavor. This dish makes for the perfect lunch alongside a protein, or a great side to bring to a summer BBQ. You really can’t go wrong with a healthy options that’s packed with flavor. It’s a win all round!
