Some Like It Hot: Sakara X Tinx

Our founders Danielle DuBoise and Whitney Tingle were joined by Tinx, Forbes Top Creator of 2023 and “TikTok’s big sister,” to host a spicy dinner in celebration of Tinx’s limited-edition Sakara salad.

“With Sakara, you don't have to sacrifice taste for quality and nourishment,” said Tinx. “I’ve been such a Sakara fan for so long. This is truly full circle and a dream come true.”

On our Signature Nutrition Program, Tinx’s custom salad is accompanied by her favorite TABASCO® Green Jalapeño Sauce for a little heat—and we didn’t skimp on the sauce for our dinner party either, drizzling it into the featured Skinny Spicy Margarita and peppering it throughout the tablescape for guests to dollop at their discretion.

In true Sakara fashion, the space was decked out in blooming flower-and-fresh produce arrangements from floral pro Pearl Holmes, while dance-worthy beats by DJ Hesta Prynn set the vibe. 

After a cocktail hour where Avaline wine, martinis, and margaritas flowed, guests (including sisters Dylana Suarez and Natalie Lim Suarez, beauty and fashion expert Jenna Rennert, gallerist Hannah Traore, and style director Jordan Foster) gathered for an intimate seated dinner.

The three-course, plant-rich menu, crafted by our very own Sakara chefs, was a dream. To start: The Tinx Salad, starring a rainbow of veggies, a sweet-and-smoky nuts and seeds blend, and a classic, creamy dressing. (Unless you're Tinx, who prefers hot sauce as the dressing.) Grilled cauliflower, acorn squash, and beet “steaks” followed, paired with a chimichurri and a tangy horseradish “ranch.” And, to end on a sweet note, a New York-Style pumpkin “cheesecake” was served, topped with coconut whip and spicy pepitas. 

We’ll be savoring this saucy, spicy, and downright delicious night (and custom salad collaboration) for weeks to come.
