It seems that I have a turmeric crush which cannot be stopped. It’s finding its way into everything I make these days! And this Vegan Turmeric Ginger Dressing turned out to be a total WIN!
Now you guys know how picky I am when it comes to salad dressings. I CANNOT handle disgusting, chemical filled, fake sugar dressings. So I had basically given up on all salad dressings and resolved to only use olive oil since that was the one thing I could find that tasted “real”, until the delicious 3 Ingredient Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing, of course!
While I love that dressing on this Chili Lime Ground Turkey Taco Salad and on ALL THE TACOS (and basically anything ever), I was looking to create something a little more…errr…sophisticated. Something that said “Hey, I’m good for you and taste excellently well-rounded and elegant. Let us ballroom dance as we listen to classical music and enjoy hors d’oeuvres,” rather than “FIEEEEESTAAAA!”. Ya know?
This dressing has a warm, savory flavor balanced by a touch of sweet. Not to mention the bold, smooth flavor of the combination of turmeric and ginger that is nothing short of epic! Oh…and 5 ingredients, y’all. 5 INGREDIENTS! And all the lazy girls said AMEN.
Perfect topping to a delicious Beet Buckwheat Salad or Sweet Potato Fennel Salad I would say! Here’s what you need for this Vegan Turmeric Ginger Dressing:
- Ground Turmeric (<—-FAVE)
- Ground Ginger (or freshly grated)
- Agave Syrup
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Apple Cider Vinegar
I recommend always having all of these things on hand, just because they make the world go ’round. Thankfully, I just happened to have all of these things in stock when I randomly decided to make this recipe (check out the shop page to see what I keep in my kitchen)! 
Also, if you’ve never heard of turmeric or are curious about its AMAZING health benefits, head over to the Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls recipe! It’s just my fave right now. FAVE!
