About this recipe

Green goddess salad was originally made by TikTok user, Melissa Ben-Ishay, who is the creator of "Baked by Melissa" and went viral on TikTok. It is called green goddess because of the color of the veggies and salad dressing.

This delicious salad is so healthy and it can be put together in no time. It is a great way to enjoy green veggies. Cabbage salad is a great addition to your meals and can be served as an appetizer or side dish.

I have adapted the original recipe to add an interesting Indian twist to it. The original recipe was made using cabbage, cucumber, and green onions. It had a dressing made with spinach and basil leaves. In my recipe, I am using cabbage, cucumber, jalapeno, and celery. I am making the dressing using mint leaves and cilantro (to replicate the classic Indian mint chutney).

This salad is perfect as a side dish or a light lunch. It is so versatile and can be used as a filling in lettuce wraps or tortilla wraps. It is a perfect healthy addition to your next potluck or barbecue menu.

Follow these full instructions to make this nutritious viral green goddess salad with a delicious Indian twist.

Useful tips

Shred the cabbage thinly using a food processor. Chop the vegetables finely and evenly into small pieces. If the veggies are chopped into large pieces, it will be difficult to dip the chips.

Add the dressing to the salad only when you are ready to serve it. This will avoid the cabbage from getting soggy.

If you are planning to store the salad, do not mix the dressing. Chop the veggies and make the salad dressing. Store them separately in airtight containers for 2-3 days. When you are ready to eat the salad, just mix them and serve.

You can also portion the salad and store them in mason jars for meal prep. Add the dressing when you are ready to eat.

Serve this salad with tortilla chips, corn chips, or pita chips. They are also great for filling in wraps.

You can use walnuts or almonds instead of cashew. For a nut-free version, replace nuts with pumpkin seeds.

Serve it as a side with these fusion recipes:

  1. Paneer lasagna.
  2. Masala mac and cheese.
  3. Naan pizza.
