---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 2 hearts of romaine, (sliced in half lengthwise)
• 2 lemons, (cut in half)
• ½ baguette, ((we use gluten free) sliced on a bias in ¼ inch slices)
• extra virgin olive oil
• 2 anchovies
• 2 garlic cloves
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup grilled lemon juice ((approx 1 large lemon))
• 2 egg yolks
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• Parmesan Cheese
• Crispy pancetta or bacon
• Grilled Chicken
• Grilled Salmon

---

Instructions

1. Preheat grill for indirect cooking using two-zone grilling method. Target 400 degrees F in the cooking chamber.
2. Drizzle bread with olive oil (a light coating).
3. Place the romaine hearts, lemons, and baguette slices on the grill on direct heat and cook approximately 2 minutes per side, flipping often. Stay close, these will all cook at slightly different times. Remove when the bread has a nice toast, the lemons have darkened and have a nice char (see pictures), and the romaine has a nice char (but not burnt).
4. Remove from grill. Serve with the Grilled Lemon Caesar Dressing, parmesan cheese, and optional proteins (we vote for crispy bacon or grilled chicken).
5. Place the anchovies, garlic, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese in the food processor and grind until they turn into a paste. Then add the wet ingredients (the grilled lemon juice, egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and olive oil). Blend on low until it emulsifies. This will take at least a minute, on low.

Pasta caesar salad with kale and crispy roasted chickpeas! What could be better?

---

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 can chickpeas (15 oz)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tsp nutritional yeast
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 4 tbsp water
• 8oz pasta, cooked according to package directions (I use Fusilli Bucati Corti)
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (omit for vegan)
• 5 cups shredded kale

---

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Drain & rinse the can of chickpeas and then place on a baking pan between two paper towels. Roll the chickpeas in the paper towels and remove as much water as possible. Some of the skins will come off the chickpeas, discard the skins. (This will make the chickpeas crispier!) Drizzle olive oil, smoked paprika and sea salt on the chickpeas mixing with your hands or a spoon until evenly coated. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
2. blend the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, dijon mustard, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper and water in a blender until smooth.
3. Mix the Salad: Add the pasta, kale, chickpeas, parmesan cheese and dressing to a bowl and mix to combine. Serve and enjoy!
