There's a new caesar salad in town: a broccoli and napa cabbage with tahini caesar salad. Similar flavors as the original, but we're bringing in a couple of new elements to dial it up. Broccoli and napa cabbage take the place of romaine lettuce, fried capers add a little briny crisp, and we show you how to use tahini to add even more depth to the flavor profile of one of America's favorite salad dressings. And yes, there will be croutons bc what kind of monsters would we be if we didn't add crouts?!
