I came across this recipe on a Facebook thread and it intrigued me because I am often looking for a new dressing and ways to include turmeric for it’s anti-inflammatory properties. Works a bit like mayo!Original recipe is found here at Mind Body Green
- 4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- Juice + zest of 2 Lemons
- ¼ avocado
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. ground turmeric (I used about 1/2 a fresh one)
- 1 Tbsp. raw local honey
- pinch of Himalayan sea salt (to taste)
Blend all ingredients in a blender.
Hi Annabel. This sounds like a delicious dressing and I plan to try it. Just a thought re the salt. I have been wondering about the actual benefits of Himalayan rock salt after reading that there is no difference between it and other salts. Also is it ethically produced? I have also read that Himalayan salt is mined by underage workers, ie children. I think that we should consider our local domestic market such as the Murray River salt. Mehta are your thoughts? Anna
Hi Anna,
I haven’t read anything about either of those issues you raise about salt, feel free to send me an article or 2 & I’ll have a look. I remember trying Murray River Salt a number of years ago and not really liking it (can’t remember why!) but perhaps I should give it another go. Is that what you use?

This looks delicious. I am not a fan of turmeric but I am willing to try this. I might not only use this as a dressing but as a dip as well. Thanks for sharing this!
How did you go with this? I’d love to know what you thought!
