Probiotic Caesar Salad Dressing

Lettuce celebrate the beginning of July with a Probiotic Caesar Salad! We used our plain whole milk kefir to add the perfect tangy note to this classic dressing, making it the perfect complement to slightly bitter romaine and salty parmesan. You can even use this dressing as a marinade when you’re prepping to grill this holiday weekend. Adding kefir to your dressings and dips is an easy way to give your sides and salads a superfood boost.
