Sharing 9 different turmeric salad dressings to add to your rotation!

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful morning! I have a Spanish lesson today and am looking forward to a morning of coaching calls.

For today’s post, let’s chat about one of my favorite lunch options: a salad!

Salads are one of my go-to meals—light, refreshing, and packed with nutrients. They’re an easy and delicious way to load up on veggies, and they can be customized to suit any flavor profile you’re craving. But let’s be real: the magic of a salad often lies in the dressing. A good dressing can transform a basic bowl of greens into something truly crave-worthy, and that’s where turmeric salad dressing comes in.

Turmeric salad dressing is one of my top picks because it’s not just flavorful, but it’s also loaded with health benefits. Turmeric, the star ingredient, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can support everything from digestion to joint health. Paired with other nourishing ingredients like apple cider vinegar and olive oil, this dressing is as nutritious as it is tasty. Today, I’m excited to share some easy-to-make turmeric salad dressing recipes that will take your salads to the next level.

Sharing a quick and delicious recipe for a healthy salad dressing: honey balsamic!

Hi friends! Happy Monday! I hope you’re enjoying the day so far and that you had a great weekend! We had an amazing dinner at our friends’ house and spent the rest of the weekend doing chores and relaxing. I took a three-hour nap on Saturday which was everyyyytthing. After a couple of weeks of travel and the Pilot’s work weekend, it was our first *normal* weekend at home in a month, so it was very appreciated.

Today, I wanted to share my go-to salad dressing with ya. I can’t believe that I’ve been blogging this long and haven’t dedicated an entire post to this dressing. This is my go-to. I use it for dinner parties, make it in advance to enjoy throughout the week, and it’s always so easy and delicious. I don’t typically love the dressings that come with salad kits, so this is what I’ll often use to replace it. I like the taste and ingredients so much more!

If you don’t already make your own salad dressing, definitely give this one a try. You’ll see how simple and delightful it can be 🙂 Let me know if you decide to add it to your rotation!
