This salad is the epitome of a recipe without a recipe, and I mean that in the best way. My Winter Salad with Seasonal Fruit + Citrus Vinaigrette comes together with essentially three components. Start with your favorite leafy greens, add a combination of any seasonal fruit, and toss with my Citrus Vinaigrette for the…
Sauces, Dressings, + Spreads
Winter Citrus Vinaigrette
Citrus is at the peak of its season during Winter in California, and when it starts showing up at the farmer’s market I can’t get enough. This Winer Citrus Vinaigrette is one of my favorite ways to make use of all the seasonal citrus. Okay, and maybe also in citrus cocktails, but more on that…
Lemon + Shallot Vinaigrette
This Lemon + Shallot Vinaigrette is a staple in my kitchen. It’s bright, versatile, and adds a punch of flavor to endless savory dishes. Homemade salad dressing is simpler to make than you’d think, and once you try it you’ll never go back to the store bought stuff. I make this recipe once a week…

Grilled Veggie Salad with Chermoula
Full disclosure: this grilled veggie salad with chermoula is a goop.com original recipe, and it is so delicious that I have to share it with you! I’ve spent my culinary school externship in the test kitchen at goop.com for the past several months and it’s been a dream come true – it involves recipe testing, development, writing, food…
Italian Salsa Verde
Salsa verde, or the classic green sauce of Italy, is a savory, herbaceous, and tangy sauce all at once. I love to make this sauce on a Sunday to use all throughout the week – it’s the perfect accompaniment to any kind of seafood, poultry, lamb, steak, grilled/roasted vegetable dish – you name it! In…
Summer Blackberry + Thyme Chia Jam
One of my biggest sources of inspiration when testing out new recipe ideas is the seasons.
