Vibrantly colored and spiced, this creamy dressing is great drizzled over your favorite salad, grain bowl, or cooked veggies. Fresh turmeric will give you the best flavor and health benefits, but if you can't find it, ground dried turmeric works too.
Ingredients
Makes about 3/4 cup dressing
Combine all ingredients with 3 Tbsp. water in a blender and purée until smooth, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice, if desired.
Fresh turmeric is often sold in specialty markets near the fresh ginger.

Back to TopI reduced the honey by half, and it was still too sweet for my taste. The texture is a bit odd...I used my mini-Cuisinart, so maybe a blender would have made it smoother. I may try again and use tahini instead of almond butter, as suggested by another reader.

made as it, no alterations. this dressing is so good i could drink it! and it's so healthy! the water does not compromise the flavor at all, i tasted it before adding because i was hesitant after reading reviews. i would try adding coconut oil next time, as one reviewer recommended, it would compliment nicely. this is a fantastic recipe!

I loved this recipe with a couple of adjustments: I didn't have almond butter on hand, so I subbed tahini. A also added 1 tsp. sesame oil. The end product was quite thick, and, since I was using it as a salad dressing, I thinned it down with 1/4-1/2 cup water. I used my Ninja Blender with the single serve attachment (about 2 cups size) to blend the ingredients and it was smooth and creamy. The taste is bright and clean. I tossed it with salad made of roasted butternut squash, roasted golden beets, farrow, a red cabbage-apple slaw, walnuts, dried cherries, and salad greens. I give this recipe four forks because it had a solid base. My adjustments were based on my own personal preferences/needs.

I made this almost like the recipe tells you to make it, but since it seemed to me that the 1/4 cup of lemon juice overpowered it, instead of the extra 2T of lemon juice, I added 2 T. of coconut oil. I agree with others in that it is way too thick to use as a dressing so I added half of it to a pan of steamed kale and udon noodles (boiled for two minutes). I also added 1/2 t. of sesame oil to improve the flavor. In order to use the other remaining half, I will try adding the vinegar to make it more usable for a salad dressing. So I would make it again since turmeric is so good for us, but with several changes.

I just made this dressing, and it seemed to thicken up as it sat. I also ran about 1.5 T. short of lemon juice, so I added a few drops of white wine vinegar and it tasted great! If I made it again, I'd add a little more water, less honey. I made it in our Nutribullet, but would use the smaller size container next time. It worked great and tasted amazing.

I would love to make this dressing sometime, however, I've never seen fresh turmeric in my area. Can someone tell me how to sub the dried stuff???

我可以建议thinningg一两滴white-wine or white-balsamic vinegar, if you want to add dynamics while keeping the strong flavors alive.

Fun to buy and use the turmeric but as a dressing it was way too thick. I didn't want to add more water and dilute the taste. It is great on a spoon. Any suggestions?
