Baked By Melissa Green Goddess Salad Recipe

I can’t count how many times I’ve made this salad over the past few years—the first time I made it, it became the hit of the party, with all my friends asking for the recipe. Since I posted it on TikTok in September 2021, more than 22 MILLION people have viewed the video. It landed me on the TODAY Show and even became the number 6 top searched recipe of 2022. So crazy.

Because of its popularity, I also know the most typical variations. Truly, I encourage you to take the components of this recipe and make it your own, using the veggies and flavors you love. Go ahead and add an avocado for extra creaminess or a jalapeño for heat. Swap out the herbs to change the flavor profile. Eat it with a chip, a fork, on tacos, or on toast. Create the perfect green goddess salad you love, that will keep you excited to eat it again and again. I can’t wait to see how you make it.

The goddess, as written, will keep in the fridge for up to a week, but I recommend dressing each serving individually if you aren’t planning to eat it all at once. Enjoy!

Ingredients for Green Goddess Salad

For the salad

  • 1 small head green cabbage
  • 3-4 baby cucumbers (or 1 large cucumber)
  • 1/4 cup chives
  • 1 bunch green onions or scallions

For the dressing

  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 small shallot
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup nuts of your choice (I used raw, unsalted cashews and walnuts)
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 
  • Any extra chives you have on hand (optional)

How to Make the Green Goddess Salad

  1. Wash and chop all of the salad ingredients with a sharp knife as small as you would like (I recommend confetti-sized). Place in a large bowl.
  2. Add all of the liquid salad dressing ingredients to a blender (olive oil, lemon juice, rice vinegar). Add the rest of the dressing ingredients to the same blender.
  3. Blend until your dressing is a thick, pourable consistency.
  4. Pour the dressing over salad ingredients.
  5. Mix well and enjoy!
