I’ve been making a version of this dressing for a long time. And I have to say, after all these years the lemon-garlic combo never gets old. The only thing I’ve changed recently is to add a bit of turmeric to the mix. It doesn’t change the flavor, but it gives it the most brilliant sunshine color. And since we’re all hearing about the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric, why not add it in to as many recipes as you can?!

How to make this Lemon Turmeric Sunshine Dressing:
Simply add everything to a mason jar, secure the lid, and shake until it’s emulsified.From there you can refrigerate it for up to a week. This makes it perfect for meal prepping where throwing together a quick salad is even easier because the dressing is already made.
Important Note: Be careful when adding turmeric to anything as it stains things easily!
