Green Goddess Salad 
One of the biggest viral salad trends, Green Goddess Salad combines crunchy greens with a creamy herb dressing for a fresh and flavour-packed side dish or lunch idea. We love making this in our Bamboo Glass Canisters, layer the ingredients and dressing separately, then flip the canister upside down into a bowl when ready to eat for perfectly coated salad every time.

Cucumber Salad 
This Viral Cucumber Salad became popular for good reason. Thin cucumber slices tossed with chilli oil, sesame, garlic and soy sauce create an easy salad recipe full of crunch and flavour. It’s proof that you don’t need lots of ingredients to create something delicious. We also love making this in our Bamboo Glass Canisters, simply add everything in and shake to evenly coat the cucumber in dressing.
