Freshly grated turmeric makes a wonderful foundation for this colorful, flavorful simple vinaigrette, which accents pungent greens as well as Mediterranean-inspired salads. This Fresh Turmeric Vinaigrette offers a great way to highlight that fresh turmeric you spied at the natural food store, but didn’t know what to do with!
Rich in anti-inflammatory compounds and warm earthy flavor, it’s a healthy habit to include more turmeric in your diet. And one of the easiest things you can do with fresh turmeric root is to shred it into a vinaigrette with olive oil and lemon juice, then use it in salads, as a marinade for tofu, or a topping for wraps and salads. Try this simple, five-ingredient turmeric vinaigrette over your next salad bowl.
