Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Dressing

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil (High in omega-3s)
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed; high in vitamin C)
• 1 tsp Ground turmeric (Anti-inflammatory agent)
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger (Grated or minced)
• 1 tbsp Maple syrup (Or honey for sweetness)
• Black pepper (To taste; essential for turmeric absorption)
• Sea salt (To taste)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small glass jar or bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

2. 2

   Add the ground turmeric, grated fresh ginger, and maple syrup to the liquid mixture.

3. 3

   Season with a pinch of sea salt and a generous crack of black pepper, which helps the body absorb the curcumin in the turmeric.

4. 4

   Whisk vigorously or seal the jar and shake well until the dressing is emulsified and bright yellow.

5. 5

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon for acidity or maple syrup for sweetness.

Notes

This dressing is blender-free and oven-free. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If the olive oil solidifies in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before shaking and serving.
