Sunset Salad Dressing

This is our absolute favorite salad dressing. This is also our most requested salad dressing from our friends that come over for dinner.

The star of this dressing is definitely Turmeric. Turmeric is a spice with a powder-like consistency, deep yellow-orange color and has a very unique taste. It is widely used as medicine throughout Asian to treat a number of chronic illnesses and aliments, as it’s very well known for it’s powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
