If you’re not a fan of nutritional yeast, TikToker @myhealthydish has a grate alternative. You can swap out the yeast for some parmesan cheese. In addition, this green goddess salad recipe uses almonds instead of the walnuts and cashews, which is also something you can try.

If you’re like TikToker @k80farhood and “cannot stop thinking about this recipe,” you’ll want to try it out for yourself. One green goddess salad dressing tip you can take from this tutorial is the addition of some jalapeños and lime juice to the dressing. Those extra ingredients just add a bit more flavor to the final salad dip. However, you can taste test along the way to see what you think it necessary.
While most people are enjoying their green goddess salad as a dip with some chips, TikToker @thesaladlab decided to add the crushed up tortilla chips into the mix. This just adds an extra bit of crunch to your green goddess salad. Another tip from this tutorial is to seed your cucumber before adding it to the bowl, so your salad doesn’t get too watery. You can also pair this snack with a sauvignon blanc like @thesaladlab does for wine nights with friends.
For even more flavor to your green goddess salad dressing, TikToker @amandalrosen suggests adding dijon mustard and honey before you blend it all together. The recipe also includes the jalapeños, but @amandalrosen warns that you should de-seed your peppers before adding them in so it’s not too spicy.
