Tahini and Turmeric dressing is the perfect warm dressing to match up with root vegetables and seared salmon. Mixed with sea salt, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, this dressing is both savory and spicey. Every now and then I will get a craving for a warm salad drizzled in this dressing.
An added benefit: Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory! Pairing it with organic leafy greens and wild salmon makes this bowl healthy and delicious.
