Notes
This is for when you want a BIG meal, that's still super light. It's definitely more fresh, crunchy, and acidic than a traditional grinder. If you want to make it a little more creamy and decadent, add a tablespoon of mayo, or some olive oil to add some fats and yumminess. A bunch of parmesan will always be delicious of course too!
