Hi,
Greetings from the UK! Just came across your site this morning, and have just made your Turmeric Cilantro vinaigrette... OMG, it is gorgeous! Only tweaked slightly cos of my weird digestive system! I love honey but it doesn't love me, so subbed 1 tsp organic coconut sugar, and eased back on the salt as my Hubby has raised BP - so used 1/2tsp Himalayan salt.
I adore Turmeric - in fact all of this recipe's ingredients - and use them wherever I can, but this combination for your vinaigrette is stunning! Am going to try it out later on new potatoes with chopped spring onions, for a different take on a potato salad
Thank you for sharing the love and your great recipes.
