Salads have been given a bad wrap in the past, but The Salad Lab is here to show you that salads don’t have to be boring, through her calming voice and perfectly-chosen ingredients. Even the most devout anti-salad people will find themselves transfixed by her viral salad videos.
She goes by just her first name, Darlene, but you can find her under her username @thesaladlab on TikTok, where she’s amassed over two million followers and counting.

She manages to mesmerize her viewers with her catchphrase “Welcome to The Salad Lab, where we’re making fabulous salads every day”, and a positivity we’ve rarely seen associated with salads before. In each video, she starts with a big wooden bowl and drops her ingredients into the bowl with Petri dishes and test tubes, true to her ‘salad lab’ style.
From Ariana Grande’s favorite salad to the one Jennifer Aniston ate in an episode of “Friends”, there are no limits to the tasty creations she comes up with. And one of the best parts about Darlene’s videos is that there’s no mention of health benefits, diet culture, or ‘good and bad’ foods—just delicious ingredients described with her relaxing voice.
