Grilled Caesar Salad Recipe by The Edgy Veg

By: Napoleon Guest Author

Recipe created in partnership with The Edgy Veg (Candice Hutchings)

My favourite way to get the true taste of summer is to barbeque EVERYTHING. There’s definitely a misconception among my meat-eater friends that vegans don’t BBQ, but we absolutely do! When I lived in a condo, I could only use a communal barbeque on my roof, but now that I’ve moved into a house with a backyard, I’m finally able to have my very own Barbeque!

This easy grilled caesar salad recipe gives a regular salad a run for its money. All you need is a barbeque to grill lettuce and tofu, a bean salad and caesar salad dressing. You can serve it with a side of hummus as well.
