Here, we’ve substituted tangy buttermilk and yogurt, spiked with lemon, garlic, and balsamic vinegar to create a creamy and flavorful dressing that mimics Caesar dressing. Once you make the dressing in a food processor and pulse until it's smooth, the rest of the prep process is simple! Pour the dressing over lettuce, a soft-cooked egg, and sunflower seeds, which add a crunch and their own natural oils. You'll then add the croutons, which, for this recipe, we listed as store-bought. However, if you're feeling fancy, you can make them yourself by baking 1-inch cubes of bread in the oven for 8 minutes at 375°F, then voila!
