Laroot’s Americana Salad is our ode to the Californian lifestyle: evoking warmer climes, fertile farmland, and an obsession with all things wellness. Based loosely on the Southern American seven-layer pea salad (which typically calls for bacon and mayonnaise) our California-inspired version boasts an array of organic, seasonal produce including baby kale, baby spinach, beets, carrots, and savoy cabbage, layered on chopped cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. To add substance, filet of smoked trout is added and packed with heart healthy omega-3s. Topped with house-made green-goddess dressing which provides all the micronutrients—iron, calcium, vitamin B6, vitamin K—you’ll need for a nutritious lunch. As per Ayurvedic and TCM principles, we advise that this dish be consumed during the day for optimal digestion of the uncooked vegetables. Alternative dressing: dairy-free green goddess vinaigrette substitutes greek yogurt for cold pressed Italian olive oil.
