When we stop to think about the world of salads, there is a common conundrum that ends up driving many of us crazy. Salads are supposed to be a healthy meal.
Those who eat salad are usually also looking to enjoy something delicious, but unfortunately, there are a number of tasty salads that are not very good for you. In some instances, you might as well grab yourself a cheeseburger.
Melissa Ben-Ishay is best known for making cupcakes but she also knows her way around a salad. Some readers may have recognized her name, as she is the founder of a company known as Baked By Melissa. This New York City company is responsible for creating all kinds of delectable treats, including bite-size cupcakes and a wide range of other items.
Baking might be her main hustle but that does not mean that she can’t cook and chop. According to her, the salad that she has come up with is so delicious, you are going to want to drink it. It is chock full of ingredients that are good for us, which makes it a highly intriguing meal to add to your weekly rotation.
There is plenty of cabbage and cucumbers and the salad dressing is also very healthy. Melissa creates it with the use of lemon juice, spinach, and olive oil, so you know it’s good.
The recipe is very easy to put together, as well. Melissa is able to scoop out this salad with a tortilla chip, which only serves to add to our already high level of curiosity.

The TikTok video that she shared about the salad is a bit too short for our liking. Luckily, she visited the good folks at the Today show and provided more background about the recipe.
The salad is very green and can be made with a blender (and a sharp knife). Melissa believes “every ingredient should be nourishing, especially in a salad.”
Melissa also says that the salad recipe does not have to be followed by the letter. If those who are watching at home want to make certain substitutions, they are able to.
Anyone who would like to learn more about her recipe and how it can be recreated with ease should definitely take the time to watch this amazing video. These step-by-step instructions are so simple to follow!
