Strawberry-Kumquat Salad
This innovative salad is the creation of Sean Baker, Executive Chef at Gather restaurant in Berkeley, who draws inspiration from local farmers and ranchers. Combining strawberries, kumquats, arugula and fava shoots with crunchy almonds, the dish is finished with a sprinkling of vanilla-infused sea salt.
