　　Vibrantly colored and spiced, this creamy dressing is great drizzled over your favorite salad, grain bowl, or cooked veggies. Fresh turmeric will give you the best flavor and health benefits, but if you can't find it, ground dried turmeric works too.

Ingredients

　　3 (2-inch) pieces fresh turmeric, peeled and roughly chopped, or 2 teaspoons ground dried turmeric

　　1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

　　1 garlic clove, roughly chopped

　　1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　3 tablespoons natural almond butter

　　1 tablespoon honey

　　1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

　　Combine all ingredients with 3 Tbsp. water in a blender and purée until smooth, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice, if desired.

　　Cook's note:

　　Fresh turmeric is often sold in specialty markets near the fresh ginger.
