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.

Cook's note:

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