Tofu Watercress Salad by Kelia Moniz
Two-time world champion Kelia Moniz joins the Cooking Hawaiian Style kitchen to share her Tofu Watercress Salad—a refreshing, healthy dish that reflects her island roots and love for clean, nourishing food. I have always been a fan of Kelia and what she is doing for women's surfing and Hawaiian culture. I first met her on the North Shore during a surf contest at the Billabong house and bugged her to come on the show. That was almost 6 years ago and when her crazy schedule come to a halt because of Covid, we finally got her. If this professional surfer looks familiar to you you probably have seen her in a Roxy ad in a mall or store near you. After she joined us this week, I realized what a profound impact she has on younger teens. My 17 year old daughter Kiani gave me a stern scolding saying, “Dad why didn’t you tell me she was going to be on the show I need to meet her!” I want to wish a congrats to Kelia and her husband on a brand new baby boy!
