Dijon-Herb Chicken Breast
The star here is the marinade. It keeps the chicken juicy, which is why I love it for hosting a lunch or keeping in the fridge for a quick protein option. Slice it over a salad, tuck it into a sandwich, or pair it with whatever vegetables are in the fridge. This recipe can easily be adapted with any seasoning variation—create your own blend of spices to change it week to week or to match the rest of your menu.
Conserva Niçoise Salad
This is one of those recipes that doesn't require much planning—just a well-stocked pantry and whatever vegetables happen to be in your refrigerator. The beauty of a Niçoise-inspired salad is its flexibility. It's the perfect way to clean out the crisper drawer while still feeling elegant enough for guests. That said, a few things are non-negotiable for me: basil, potatoes, and good olives. Everything else is up to you.
Summer Salad Rolls
Although making these rolls may seem daunting at first, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be making them all season long. Want to simplify the prep or use up extra filling? Skip the rolls and make a salad instead: Top the filling with the cashew dipping sauce and chili crunch oil and add chopped toasted cashews for extra texture. (If you’re in the LA or OC area, you can order this dish from goop Kitchen.)
Mediterranean Goddess Bowl
This fresh, flavorful bowl from goop Kitchen’s chef Brent Parrino is easily adaptable to whatever you’re feeling that day. For a meat-free version, you can substitute falafel, eggs, or fish in place of the chicken, and feel free to play around with any green veggies you like. You might recognize the herb marinade—it’s the same versatile recipe used for this Winter Salmon Bowl.(If you’re in the LA or OC area, you can order this dish from goop Kitchen.)
Summer Salmon Bowl
“Use the best produce that summer can offer—we call for tomatoes and green beans here, but feel free to add corn or summer squash instead. This recipe is so flexible, you can save it and use it all year around, mixing up the various vegetables throughout the year.”
Farro and Tuna Bowl
“This is the flavor of summer in Italy, and it takes only a few minutes to make. Look out for Sungolds during peak tomato season, but regular cherry tomatoes will work great here as well.” —Seamus Mullen
Kale Cabbage Slaw with Almonds and Dill
It doesn’t get easier than this. The dressing is incredibly forgiving (the creamy Dijon mustard makes emulsifying foolproof), and from there, all you have to do is chop and toss everything together. Since the cabbage and kale are quite hearty, we love this for a packable work lunch or a potluck dish.
Daphne Oz’s Kitchen Sink Chicken Salad
We love a good chicken salad around here, and Daphne Oz's "kitchen sink" version—souped up with salty soy sauce and celery, sweet crunchy apples, and a kick from some hot sauce—is particularly inspired. It's something growns-ups and kids will both love.
Summer Loving Raw Tart
“Quite possibly my favorite recipe in the book, this raw tomato tart bursts with umami. It satisfies in ways I can’t fully explain. If you don’t have a dehydrator, use the oven; if you don’t have the time, swap the crust for a pack or three of Moon Juice’s Chard Cumin Crisps or Green Fermented Seed Crisps. But be sure to try making the long version at some point, as well. Summer comes alive in every bite.” —Cindy DiPrima Morisse, CAP Beauty cofounder
Preserved Lemon and Arugula Salad
This bright and peppery salad is so simple that you’ll find yourself going back for more. It goes nicely with our lamb tagine but would pair perfectly with any protein.
Edamame Beans with Baby Bok Choy, Quinoa, and Honey-Ginger Dressing
This is a great example of a gluten-free salad that won't leave you feeling like you're missing out. The quinoa is super hearty but neutral enough to let the flavors of the veggies and the sweet savory dressing shine. You could also use this same method and dressing with just about any stir-fry-friendly vegetable, like green beans or broccoli.
