Turmeric Dressing
Almond butter turmeric dressing is vibrant, flavorful and tastes great on just about anything (salad, grain bowls, as a marinade or dip). This lemon turmeric dressing is a copycat of the Trader Joe's Almond butter turmeric dressing that has been discontinued. Made with 7 ingredients in under 5 minutes, this homemade dressing is so easy and refreshing, it's great to keep on hand for any meal.
Measure out all the ingredients into a bowl or blender. Be sure to peel the ginger then finely grate it with a microplane (this is especially if you are not using a high speed blender).Note: it can be easier to combine the almond butter, lemon juice, maple syrup and spices first in a bowl then add the water.
Stir well until the ingredients are well blended or blend on high for 15-30 seconds until well combined.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
*Note this recipe makes about 1 1/4 cup of dressing. Each serving is 2 tablespoons of dressing.
Use a microplane to finely grate the ginger before blending. This helps to ensure that the ginger will be well incorporated in the salad dressing.
If you don't want to mess with grating the ginger, I recommend freeze dried ginger. I always have this on hand. It's easy to use and reconstitutes easily once added to liquid ingredients.
Make the dressing thicker by using less water. Reduce the water from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup for a really thick dressing.
Add the black pepper to enhance the curcumin absorption.
Turmeric is known to stain - towels, clothing or wooden utensils or cutting boards. To be safe, I recommend that you also quickly rinse out the blender right after blending to keep the plastic from staining. If you notice your blender turning yellow from turmeric, leave it out in the sun for a day.
