6| Big Green Goddess Salad
Shredded cabbage, cucumbers, chives, green onions, and a bright herby dressing (usually made with basil, spinach, garlic, and lemon juice) create a crunchy, fresh salad that’s gone viral multiple times. Serve it with chips or as a side dish.
What makes this salad so irresistible is its bold green color and deeply flavorful dressing. It's vegan, refreshing, and packed with fiber and nutrients. TikTokers have even turned it into a dip or sandwich filling. It's a recipe that can flex between meal and snack, making it one of the most versatile viral dishes.
