This creamy turmeric dressing is a simple and flavorful way to get more anti-inflammatory turmeric into your diet.
Ok, guys, we all know that inflammation causes many of the health issues we see today. And there are a lot of things we can do on the daily to help reduce inflammation in our own lives: get good sleep,reduce toxins in our households, avoid inflammatory foods, and eat foods that help lower inflammation.
I’m in a place on my own healing journey where I am really working on reducing the amount of inflammation in my body. I’ve learned that inflammation plays a huge role in many of the symptoms I have had throughout the years. And I’m on a mission to get my body not only healthy, but super vital.
One of the easiest things that I do is turmeric…every day. Turmeric has so many amazing health benefits and is inexpensive and simple to incorporate into recipes. Here’s a few you may have seen on the blog:
Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Tonic
Curried Cauliflower and Kale Soup
Creamy Tropical Turmeric Smoothie
I’ve already used this versatile creamy turmeric dressing in a couple of my recipes, but I thought it deserved it’s very own blog post. Since condiments are EVERYTHING when it comes to healthy eating. And I eat this stuff all of the time. On so many things. Salads. Veggies. Eggs. Chicken. Fish.
My family loves it with spring rolls. I love it drizzled over steamed greens. It’s especially good on roasted fall veggies like winter squash as turmeric has that earthy, rich flavor.
So take that earthy flavor and combine it with creamy tahini, tangy lemon, and a subtle sweetness from honey. The flavors compliment each other perfectly. You’ll want to pour this stuff over all the things.
Hope you love it.

P.S. Don’t forget to add the black pepper in this recipe as pepper makes the active ingredient in turmeric 2000% more bioavailable. I love fun facts like that!
Creamy Turmeric Dressing (dairy free)
Ingredients
Instructions
Whisk everything together in a small bowl until creamy smooth. Store in an air tight glass jar in fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
* I prefer the taste of toasted tahini. I find the flavor is better than using a raw tahini.
** If dressing thickens in fridge, simply whisk in a small amount of water to thin out to desired consistency.

It makes sense that we are made to combine our foods. I find it all so fascinating. Hope you get to try it, Emily! 🙂
This dressing sounds so delicious and I love its beautiful color! I try to add turmeric to my meals in any way I can because of its healthful properties so I’ll have to give this dressing a try for sure.

It really is so pretty!
How would I substitute fresh tumeric for powdered?
I haven’t tried it with fresh turmeric yet. I would peel it and grate it. Also, I would do it in a blender so the turmeric gets totally incorporated into the dressing. Let me know if you try it. I would love to know.
I’m terrible at getting turmeric in, but I think I would definitely love it with the tahini and over a salad! Thank you! Great idea!
Hope you get to try it, Renee. It’s so yummy you won’t realize you are being healthy. 😉
That color is calling my name! I’m all about anti-inflammatory foods too. This dressing looks amazing.

I know! Just the color itself makes it fun to eat! 🙂
You had me a turmeric but then I saw the tahini and ermagerd!!!!!
Seriously! I’m obsessed with both currently. 🙂
I know turmeric is so good for you, but I don’t use it enough! I love how simple this dressing is! I’m planning on making it soon 🙂
Hope you love it!
I love everything about this dressing from that gorgeous golden color, to the beautiful photos!
Thank, Kari!
Sounds like a yummy and healthy dressing that will go with any salad!

I am definitely trying this! There’s a restaurant in the last town that made a similar ‘goddess sauce.’ I think this will be even better! Thank you!
