By: Leighpicsletters

Lito’s Kitchen prides itself on having something for everyone. This is part of our commitment to always making our food better. Whether you love your meat and cheese, or you’re interested in going the meatless route for lunch, we’ve got you covered. Here are our top vegetarian and vegan options at Lito’s Kitchen.

Greek Salad

Our Greek Salad is an explosion of flavor. Made with fresh romaine lettuce, we combine artichokes, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, feta cheese and pepperoncini to make this salad spectacular. Make it vegan by asking for no feta cheese. We promise it’s still just as delicious.

Mixed Greens + Quinoa Salad

Hearty and filling, this very vegan salad is one of our most requested at Lito’s Kitchen. We join fresh mixed greens with quinoa, and then add loads of almonds, cranberries, strawberries, cucumbers, apples and red onions for additional crunch. Our Mixed Greens + Quinoa Salad is all about texture and taste.

Build Your Own Bowl

Go for the goal and build your own bowl at Lito’s Kitchen! We offer a variety of different options. Try creating a filling veggie friendly bowl with roasted vegetables, quinoa, black beans, and our famous pickled onions. Top your bowl off with our chimichurri sauce, and you’ve got a blissfully delicious lunch.  

Breakfast Sandwich

The most important meal of the day, our breakfast sandwich keeps you feeling full and ready to take on the day. Two lightly scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese are served atop our freshly made ciabatta bread. The sandwich is finished with our house-made chipotle aioli. To make your vegetarian friendly breakfast sandwich extra hearty, opt for a few slices of avocado or get extra cheesy and add American cheese.

Smoothies

Who says a smoothie has to be boring? Perfect for getting your greens in for the day, our Pineapple-Kale Smoothie is a yummy balance of tart, earthy and lightly sweet flavors. We combine Greek yogurt, fresh kale, pineapple, honey and chia seeds to make this energizing and delicious beverage. For berry lovers, our Banana-Berry Smoothie is a must try. One of our top sellers, fresh mixed berries, bananas, Greek yogurt and honey combine to create a wonderfully antioxidant rich and refreshing drink.  

Horchata Iced Latte

New to our menu and the perfect pick me up, our Horchata Iced Latte is in a league of its own. Not only is this latte vegan, but it’s also decadently delicious. Our house-made horchata is a combination of cinnamon, vanilla, rice and almonds. Once prepared we add a double shot of espresso. Creamy, and not overly sweet, you won’t be able to get enough of our healthy horchata treat!

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

We never get tired of this classic. Our grilled cheese is an absolute must. Made with American and cheddar cheese, try adding jalapenos and avocado slices to take this classic vegetarian sandwich to the next level. 


The Toasted Sandwich Dilemma: Why Butter Reigns Supreme over Margarine

By: Leighpicsletters

When it comes to making the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, the choice of fat can make all the difference. While margarine and imitation butter may have their place in the culinary world, there's no denying that real butter takes the crown. Here are a few reasons why Lito’s Kitchen prefers the superior and mouthwatering fat, butter vs. all others.

The Natural Goodness of Real Butter:

Real butter, made from churned cream, is a natural product without artificial additives or hydrogenated oils. It provides a rich, creamy flavor that enhances the taste of your favorite sandwich. Unlike margarine, which is a highly processed product made from vegetable oils, butter is minimally processed, making it a more wholesome choice.

The Healthy Fat Myth:

For years, fat has been villainized as the enemy of a healthy diet. However, recent research has highlighted the importance of consuming healthy fats in moderation. Butter, in its natural form, contains a good balance of saturated and unsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are vital for brain function, hormone production, and overall cell health.

A Source of Essential Nutrients:

Butter is not just a source of fats; it also contains important fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins play crucial roles in supporting immune function, promoting bone health, and protecting against oxidative stress. Margarine, on the other hand, often relies on synthetic additives to fortify it with vitamins, which can never truly replicate the nutritional value of natural sources.

No Trans Fats, No Compromises:

One of the major drawbacks of margarine and imitation butter is their high content of trans fats, which are formed during the hydrogenation process. Trans fats have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and other health issues. In contrast, butter contains only trace amounts of naturally occurring trans fats. By choosing real butter, you can enjoy the indulgence of one of our scrumptious sandwiches without compromising your health.

Superior Taste and Texture:

Butter wins hands down when it comes to flavor and texture. Its rich, creamy nature lends a distinct taste and a satisfying mouthfeel to our toasted sandwiches. Margarine often falls short in this department, as it can have an artificial aftertaste and lacks the richness that butter imparts. The authentic buttery flavor is what truly elevates a grilled cheese sandwich from ordinary to extraordinary.

When it comes to making a mouthwatering, hot sandwich, real butter is the undisputed champion. With its natural goodness, essential nutrients, and superior taste, butter offers a delightful experience that margarine and imitation butter simply cannot replicate. So the next time you indulge in a crispy, gooey grilled cheese, at Lito’s Kitchen, remember we spread the love with a generous slather of real butter.
