This dairy-free Curry Dressing is compatible with a paleo diet, offering a delightful burst of tangy zest to salads or bowls! Infused with turmeric and curry spices, it not only adds warmth but also packs a punch of antioxidants.
Meal prepping dressing and sauces is one of the best ways to stick with a healthy diet. You'll only want to eat healthy food if it also tastes good! This Curry Dressing lasts 5 days in the fridge and pairs deliciously with this 15-minute Curried Couscous recipe, roasted veggies, and grain bowls.
Plus, this dressing contains curcumin. This is the active compound in turmeric that shows a significant improvement in morning stiffness, walking time, and joint swelling, with the complete absence of any side effects in people with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder.
This Curry Dressing was inspired by my Easy Carrot Ginger Dressing on this site, as well as this creamy dairy-free Anti-Inflammatory Salad Dressing.
