You know that Saturday feeling? Where you have time <\/em>to do all the things you\u2019ve been putting off all week? Where you have the space to experiment in the kitchen, enjoy the cooking process, and not worry as much about cooking at lightening speed? (If your work is outside of the Monday through Friday tradition; just insert the day of the week that fits!) Our friend Sarah Copeland has just launched a gorgeous new book called Every Day is Saturday, and it\u2019s all about how to have the Saturday mentality of taking pleasure in cooking food for your family,<\/strong> whatever the day of the week. And this Green Goddess salad is a scrumptious preview. Keep reading for more about the book and this recipe!<\/p>\n

About the book: Every Day is Saturday<\/h2>\n

Sarah is a dear friend of Alex and me, former food director at Real Simple, genius recipe developer, and a serious light in the world of food. If you don\u2019t follow Sarah already, head to her Instagram right now and do so. She shares sweet vignettes of her dear family: they\u2019re picture perfect but at the same time real<\/em> and relatable. (I\u2019ve never met her kiddos and I feel like I\u2019m a distant aunt!) The way that Sarah cooks and eats is simple and elegant, and her aesthetic is truly divine. We hope someday we\u2019ll be able to visit Sarah and bask in the glow of her glorious food! In the meantime though, there\u2019s her new book.<\/p>\n

Every Day is Saturday is a brilliant compilation of recipes that shows you how to cook like it\u2019s Saturday, every day of the week. At every step, Sarah guides you into more confident, strategic cooking. The photography is so beautiful that at first glance you might think something to be complex: but the recipes are simple and genius (Tahini Toast with Lemon and Honey, Baked Fish with Capers and Herbs, 3 ways to use Whipped Cream, etc). And we loved this Green Goddess salad bowl meal, which is intended for using up leftovers from weekend cooking throughout the week. You\u2019ll absolutely love it; congratulations to Sarah on an incredible new volume of recipes.<\/p>\n

How to make Green Goddess salad<\/h2>\n

Now! Let\u2019s talk about this Green Goddess salad! This main dish salad \u201cbowl meal\u201d is incredibly flavorful and the perfect way to get your veggies and grains. We are all about the dressing of the same name: one of our fan favorite recipes is this Healthy Green Goddess Dressing. So Green Goddess anything <\/em>always catches our eye: we love the savory creaminess of this light green drizzle.<\/p>\n

This Green Goddess salad features a different sort of that dressing: a Tahini Green Goddess Dressing. And, man, is it tasty! The nuttiness of the tahini is a perfect offset for the yogurt and fresh parsley. Aside from a salad dressing, you could use it as a dip for all sorts of things: might we suggest oven baked fries or our best potato wedges? And it would be perfect with baked salmon or broiled salmon. To make the Green Goddess dressing, just whiz up plain yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon, and parsley in your blender! It makes quite a bit, so we\u2019d suggest making a half recipe if you\u2019re not sure you\u2019ll eat that much. It\u2019s perfect for using as a dressing and drizzle for meals throughout the week.<\/p>\n

This Green Goddess salad is all about using up leftover grains and veggies from the week or weekend. You can literally make it with any grain: some of our favorites around here are rice, quinoa, millet, or farro. Pictured above is some pearl couscous we found in our pantry \u2014 it\u2019s not technically a grain (it\u2019s pasta!), but it\u2019s very quick to cook. We love couscous when we\u2019re in a rush! For the veggies, Sarah has specified to grill up some eggplant, zucchini and red onion: which was a fantastic combination! Mix those all with greens and some of the Tahini Green Goddess dressing, and you\u2019re in business. It was a healthy lunch for us; it works as a bowl meal dinner recipe too \u2014 try it on the patio with frose this summer: you won\u2019t be disappointed!<\/p>\n
