Zesty Lemon Mint Turmeric Dressing recipe. A healthy homemade dressing with the most refreshing lemon mint flavor. It is a great way to add turmeric and it’s anti-inflammatory properties into your diet.

It’s never a good idea to go grocery shopping hungry… I end up buying way more than I need, and way more junk food! And yet, I find myself in this predicament far too often.

Like last weekend when I went to Marks and Spencer totally famished! In order to not go crazy and buy the whole store, I bought a ready-made salad and ate it before continuing on my grocery shopping journey. 

The salad had the most amazing dressing. So amazing that I decided to recreate my own version for the blog… This Zesty Lemon Mint Turmeric Dressing is tangy, citrusy, minty, and refreshing. It is a fabulous and healthy salad accoutrement!

Ingredients in this Zesty Lemon Mint Turmeric Dressing 

• lemon juice
• olive oil

I seriously LOVE this dressing. I love that there is turmeric inside ( hello antioxidants).

I love the refreshingness of the mint and I love the lemony citrus flavor mixed in.

To make this dressing, all you have to do is put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix.

Health benefits of this dressing

• Turmeric’s main active ingredient is curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. The anti-inflammatory affects are so powerful and it is such a strong antioxidant that it is said to be able to neutralize free radicals.
• Lemon’s are a great source of Vitamin C. They also help your body with iron absorption. Having a bit of lemon juice in your salad, helps you absorb all of the iron in the veggies you are eating. 
• The smell and flavor of mint leaves helps to activate your salivary glands and the glands that secrete digestive enzymes, which aids in digestion.
• Olive oil is full of heart-healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamin E and K. It is said to be anti-inflammatory and can protect against heart disease.

I hope you give this Zesty Lemon Mint Turmeric Dressing a try because it is incredibly flavorful and delicious. It makes non-salad lovers, love salad!
