If you’re hosting a backyard bash this summer, your guests might expect to munch on the usual suspects (burgers, potato salad, etc). But surprise them with a totally non-traditional (and totally delicious) spread of nutritious, farm-fresh ingredients, and everyone will be officially clamoring to hang at your house.
Need menu inspo? We’ve got you covered. We teamed up with Castor & Pollux®, maker of America’s #1 organic pet food, to put together the ultimate farm-to-table BBQ, featuring organic produce and responsibly sourced protein.
Plus, after your canine bestie is done greeting everyone at the door (best boy!), you can treat him to a bowl of Castor & Pollux PRISTINE® dog food. The doggy fan favorite is the only complete line of pet food made with responsibly sourced ingredients like wild-caught salmon and organic chickpeas. It’s a feel-good summertime spread for every guest in attendance—including the ones with a tennis-ball obsession.
Scroll down to see the crowd- (and pooch-) pleasing spread, and click the hotspots for intel on the ingredients.
PRISTINE® Wild-Caught Salmon & Chickpea Recipe
Easily include your canine companion in the fun with a wholesome bowl of PRISTINE® dog food, made with the same type of quality ingredients you picked up at the farmers market for yourself, including wild-caught salmon, organic chickpeas, and organic peas.
Wild-caught salmon
Serve up a dish of delicious wild-caught salmon. Grill (or bake), and top the super-powered protein with lemon slices and fresh herbs for perfection on a plate.
Organic Carrots
For a beyond-simple side, caramelize organic carrots (with the vitamin-rich tops intact) on the grill for a buffet option filled with vitamin A and biotin.
Organic watermelon
Okay, so watermelon is likely already in your BBQ lineup—but did you know it also offers a mega nutrient boost? Just thank the lycopene (a powerful antioxidant) and amino acids.
Organic chickpeas
Add chickpeas in your summer salad for a tasty dose of satisfying protein, nutty texture, and subtle flavor.
