We all saw the TikTok. The vegan green goddess salad recipe that Melissa Ben-Ishay created and that instantly went viral. Since it looked so delicious, we had to put a Poosh spin on it by adding pears (or apples) for an extra crunch and cayenne pepper for added flavor.
The healthy salad is perfect for both lunch and dinner. So try it the next time you want a light but filling meal or snack. Pair the crisp greens with gluten-free tostadas and even add a little bit of cayenne pepper (if you so desire) to take the dressing up a notch. You’ll be left satisfied without the guilt. Scroll on for the step-by-step instructions on how to make the Poosh version of the popular salad.
