Today’s Secret Recipe comes from Balboa Cafe in Mill Valley, California. This American bistro serves a menu made of fresh, seasonal produce and classic cocktails. Open for lunch and dinner it’s considered by many as the “in” place to eat, drink and be merry.
One of the fresh dishes served at Balboa Cafe is the kale slaw. Thinly sliced kale is tossed with colorful carrots, red cabbage and fresh fennel, then tossed with a light and tangy dressing. Toasted walnuts are added at the end for some added crunch
