  • ½ tbsp dried cranberries

Equipment

Build the Salad

  2. Toss gently with Caesar dressing until evenly coated.

  1. Scatter crumbled blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, almonds, and cranberries over the top.

Notes

Storage: keep undressed in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Dress only what you'll eat right away, since microgreens wilt fast.
