If you aren’t already making your own salad dressings I invite you to give it a try.  This dressing  comes together quickly in a blender and incorporates 2 powerful whole foods, perfect for transitioning to the colder weather.

Turmeric and fresh garlic are two powerful anti-inflammatory and immune boosting ingredients.  Turmeric is a rich golden colored root and can also be commonly found ground and dried in a powder form.  Besides being a beautiful color the flavor and health supportive properties make it a win-win.
