Make a Flax and Turmeric Salad Dressing

Learn how to make a simple, tasty salad dressing packed with nutrition from just a few ingredients. This dressing has the perfect combination of sweet, sour, salty, pungent and bitter flavors.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1/4 cup flax seed oil
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
2 TBS tamari soy sauce
2 cloves garlic
1/8 tsp. turmeric

Step 1

Peel the garlic cloves and cut off the ends. Mince the garlic or press it through a garlic press.
Step 2

In a glass bowl or container, mix the oil, vinegars and tamari soy sauce. Adjust the amounts slightly to taste, but be careful not to overdo it, especially on the tamari. If you don't have tamari soy sauce, you can substitute miso or sea salt.
Step 3

Add the garlic and turmeric to the dressing and stir vigorously or put in a bottle and shake.
Step 4

Serve with salad, cooked greens, raw vegetables, bean salads or grain dishes. But use it sparingly -- this is strongly flavored and a little goes a long way.
Step 5

Store any extra salad dressing in the refrigerator. It keeps well. Just mix it again before serving.

Tips & Warnings

You can substitute hemp seed oil, olive oil or grapeseed oil for the flax oil.
Turmeric provides antioxidants, helps balance blood sugar, and may help prevent cancer
The strong sour and sweet flavors of the apple cider and balsamic vinegars help mask the bitterness of the turmeric
