A shake-and-pour dressing that elevates any salad. Ready in 2 minutes.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp raw honey
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• Pinch of salt
Method
1. Combine ingredients: Add all ingredients to a jar.
2. Shake: Seal the jar and shake vigorously for 20 seconds until fully emulsified.

Health Facts
★ Extra virgin olive oil: Rich in oleocanthal, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory effects similar to ibuprofen. Heart-protective monounsaturated fats.
★ Apple cider vinegar: Supports healthy blood sugar regulation, aids digestion, and may improve insulin sensitivity.
★ Turmeric in fat: Curcumin is fat-soluble — combining it with olive oil significantly increases its absorption by the body.
★ Raw honey: Contains enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds. Unlike refined sugar, it has a lower glycaemic impact.
