Proof Lab Asian Kale Salad

June 19, 2017 By Liza Cannata Leave a Comment

IMG_3323This salad was inspired by my older brother Nick.  He is a big surfer and often hangs out at an old-school, local surf shop in Mill Valley called Proof Lab.  The other day we had lunch, and he was raving about a “bitchin'”salad all the shredders make at the store.  He listed the ingredients for me to recreate for the blog: shredded kale, carrots, seeds, avocado, dried cranberries (which I forgot), all tossed in an Asian dressing.  It seemed yummy and healthy, so I gave it a stab and made it the next night.  So, here is my version of my brother’s proof lab salad, which may or may not be anything like the original.  Add cranberries for some added sweetness.

  2. Toast the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds separately in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often and watching carefully, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove to a bowl to cool.
  3. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together or shake vigorously in a jar with tight fitting lid.

  5. Add the carrots, avocado, and toasted seeds to the kale and give salad another toss. Serve immediately.
