Grilling Recipe

Mediterranean Grilled Veal Salad is an easy veal 30-minute meal that packs 30g of protein. This recipe also features a bounty of vitamin-rich veggies, like fennel and arugula. These greens combined with tender grilled veal cutlets and a zesty citrus dressing on top makes the perfect summer salad.
If fennel and arugula isn’t something you like, feel free to change up the greens in the salad and try something different. Also add other fun salad toppings like craisins, walnuts, or almonds!
You could always leave the salad out and still enjoy the zesty citrusy marinated veal cutlets. Just wait until you try these veal cutlets grilled to perfection!
