Anti inflammatory yeast free dressing made in minutes. Turmeric, garlic and lemon make this dressing really delicious. If you have a yeast intolerance or allergy, then you will know that using vinegars are a no no!
Which means dressings and most store bought condiments are out. It can be difficult to know how to add flavour to foods living with a yeast intolerance or allergy. However I hope you like this recipe.
Notes on ingredients & substitutions
Olive oil
Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil that’s cold pressed or avocado oil for this recipe.
NB If you have allergies check that the oil you are using is pure olive oil and doesn’t contain any soy or other ingredients you cannot consume.
Turmeric
If you can get fresh turmeric, use 1 tsp of grated turmeric for this recipe. If not, powdered turmeric is fine, and that is what I used.
Garlic
Please use fresh, not processed lazy garlic. It will not have the same flavour and can be preserved in vinegar.
Brown sugar
I usually use local raw honey in most of my dressings. However, on a yeast-free diet, honey needs to be avoided because yeast will naturally grow in honey, especially since it's usually stored for long periods of time. I used xylitol instead, which is fine to consume with a yeast allergy or intolerance or if you are following a candida diet.
Ingredients
What is yeast-free dressing?
It might sound strange if you are new to a yeast-free diet. If you cannot eat yeast or are following a candida diet, then you need to avoid vinegar. Vinegar is created using a fermentation process with yeast. Generally, it should be avoided. However, I have found that distilled/ spirit vinegar is refined enough that it doesn't create symptoms. Distilled vinegar is not guaranteed to be yeast-free, but it has little (if any) yeast protein, depending on how carefully the distillation process has been conducted.
Storage
This needs to be eaten immediately. If you have no yeast allergies, store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
NB always consult your allergist or doctor if unsure about ingredients.
