The Grilled Caesar
Not just a basic caesar (although we love those too)!
​
For those times you want to show off, this is the perfect dinner party menu, as it is guaranteed to impress both the foodie and the picky eater. It's great to enjoy at a summer patio dinner as an appetizer or as a main alongside some grilled seafood.
Nutritional yeast and tahini sneaks in some additional B12, amino acids and antioxidants.
​
Add Spiced Roasted Chickpeas as a garnish for a bit of added crunch and protein.
