A perfect dish for a relaxed summer evening: Seared Ahi tuna with a sesame crust, sliced and served with a soy-ginger aioli, an Asian cabbage slaw with peanut dressing, and your choice of basmati rice or a low-carb pilaf of “cauliflower rice” (sauteed rice-sized bits of cauliflower and caramelized onion). 29

GRILLED CHICKEN AND PEACH SALAD
It’s a Salaam favorite, and it’s back! Grilled chicken breast and grilled balsamic-glazed peaches, with crumbled gorgonzola and toasted walnuts on a bed of salad greens. We’ll serve it with our house-made honey balsamic dressing on the side. 26

Featured dessert: FROZEN SABAYON
