Micro Caesar Dressing

ByScott

A creamy, tangy classic with a fresh twist from sunflower microgreens.

Level up your salad game with this bold, velvety Caesar-style dressing that swaps the ordinary for the extraordinary. Sunflower microgreens bring a fresh nuttiness and a subtle green crunch, all while packing a punch of vitamin E, folate, and plant power. Whether you’re tossing it through romaine, drizzling over grilled veg, or using it as a dip, this dressing brings big Caesar energy — without the fuss.

Why It Works:

  • Sunflower microgreens add freshness, antioxidants, and a nutty lift.
  • Anchovies & Dijon bring depth and richness.
  • Lemon + vinegar balance it all with just the right tang.
