Darlene Schrijver

The Salad Lab is a social media platform created by Darlene Schrijver, a mom from Sonoma County, California. Schrijver started the account in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to share her salad recipes with her daughter, who was away at college. The account quickly became popular, and Schrijver now has millions of followers across four platforms. Schrijver's videos are known for their calming and soothing aesthetic. She often wears a lab coat and uses scientific glassware to measure and prepare her ingredients (a nod to her daughter’s college major). Her salads are creative and delicious, and she often uses unexpected ingredients and flavor combinations. In addition to sharing her recipes, Schrijver also uses her platform to promote healthy eating by incorporating more vegetables into meals and to encourage people to be creative in the kitchen. She is a role model for many people, and her videos have helped to make salad more popular and accessible. The Salad Lab is a great resource for anyone who is looking for new and delicious salad recipes. The account is also a great place to learn about healthy eating and to be inspired to be more creative in the kitchen.
