This Lemon Turmeric Sunshine Dressing is perfect for meal prepping , and makes salads extra tasty!
I’ve been making a version of this dressing for a long time. And I have to say, after all these years the lemon-garlic combo never gets old. The only thing I’ve changed recently is to add a bit of turmeric to the mix.
It doesn’t change the flavor, but it gives it the most brilliant sunshine color. And since we’re all hearing about the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric, why not add it in to as many recipes as you can?!
Variations for this Turmeric Lemon Dressing
- Add 1 Tablespoon of minced fresh ginger – so good!
- 1 Teaspoon of Italian seasoning pairs perfectly with the lemon garlic, and you don’t even notice the turmeric.
- Tahini is a great pairing, try 1-2 Tablespoons to your taste for a creamy version of this dressing. You can also add the above mentioned ginger to this combo.
- A teaspoon of curry powder is also a nice mix with these flavors, and the ginger variation can be combined with the curry powder.
How to make this Lemon Turmeric Sunshine Dressing
- Simply add everything to a mason jar, secure the lid, and shake until it’s emulsified.
- From there you can refrigerate it for up to a week. This makes it perfect for meal prepping , where throwing together a quick salad is even easier because the dressing is already made.
Important Note! Be careful when adding turmeric to anything as it stains things easily!
