Voilà! My new favorite dressing is served. Obsessed lately with anything involving fresh turmeric, I searched online for a homemade salad dressing involving the gorgeous orange-hued root.  This dressing appealed to me the most:  roughly chopped pieces of peeled turmeric, peeled ginger and peeled garlic are blitzed in the blender or mini food processor along with lemon juice, a touch of honey, a smidge of salt and some natural almond butter.  (I actually had sunflower seed butter on hand, so that is what I used, but I think a natural peanut or cashew butter would also be just as grand.)

With just a touch of water added into the dressing to achieve a smooth, yet slightly thick texture, the flavors of this healthy dressing are amazingly rich thanks to the natural nutty richness of the nut butter.  And its really cool to watch the dressing over time, it slowly starts to turn a gorgeous deep yellow color as you blend away.
