Lemony Caesar Salad
With all of the heavy foods going on in this menu, a Caesar salad helps to round things out. My Caesar dressing has two lemons so it has a really bright, fresh flavor.
If you are squeamish about anchovies, just leave them out and increase the salt, but I think they are really yummy.
