Try this delicious aromatic anti-inflammatory salad dressing. I use it to drizzle over salad and veggies as it’s a great way to give a dish some VA VA Vroom! I have used fresh turmeric for this recipe, organic honey and apple cider vinegar with a hint of garlic. It’s so much cheaper to make at home over buying dressings at the supermarket. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
ACV
Please try to buy the organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. The mother consists of dozens of strains of good bacteria, which we often refer to as probiotics. These help keep your digestive system running smoothly to get the most out of the food you consume. Probiotics are also great for the immune system, the majority of which is located in your digestive tract.
The good bacteria in your digestive system compete for resources with the bad bacteria, and maintaining a healthy balance can help prevent you from getting sick.
The mother also contains enzymes, which are essential for breaking down foods so that your body can use the nutrients you consume. Most raw foods contain enzymes, but the enzymes are often destroyed by cooking; adding a supplementary source like apple cider vinegar is a great way to make up for this.
Ingredients
Turmeric
has remarkable nutritional properties. Read more about this powerhouse of a superfood here. For making salad dressings, I always use a good quality olive oil that’s cold-pressed. Cold-pressed virgin olive oil contains high amounts of monounsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants that provide many health benefits. Organic or raw honey is always my go-to for salad dressings instead of sugar. If you are vegan, then feel free to swap the honey for agave instead.
Step by step
Recipe
150 ml olive oil ( extra virgin)
50 ml ACV ( apple cider vinegar see notes)
35 ml organic honey
10 g fresh turmeric ( got mine from sainsburys)
50 g peeled ginger
salt & pepper
Method
Place all ingredients into a Nutri Bullet or similar and whizz up till smooth.
This will keep in the fridge for 3 weeks in an airtight jar.
Variations
Feel free to swap the honey for agave if you are vegan. Adding fresh herbs to this dressing would be fantastic. Try adding coriander or if you are cooking an Asian dish, try using some Thai/holy basil in the dressing. Are you looking to up your cookery skills?
