Summary

Matcha and turmeric are two true superfoods thanks to their high phytonutrient content. Matcha contains catechins, which have been shown to support heart, brain, and overall health. Turmeric contains inflammation-fighting, lifestyle disease-preventing, and cognition-supporting curcuminoids. Pro-tip: Double the recipe and add it to a variety of dishes throughout the week like salads, grain bowls, steamed vegetables, or grilled tofu.

matcha turmeric dressing

Ingredients

 ½ cup plant-based yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored)
 2 tbsp lemon juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
 2 tbsp sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
 1 tsp Dijon mustard (or brown mustard)
 1 tbsp maple syrup or date paste (See Chef’s Notes) + 1 Tbsp as desired
 1 tsp matcha powder
 1 tsp ground turmeric
 ¼ tsp salt (optional)
 ¼ tsp ground black pepper (optional, but optimizes turmeric’s function)

Directions

1

Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Start with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or date paste and add another if you feel the dressing needs more to balance the acidity.

2

Taste for additional flavors of your choice (more turmeric for earthiness, more ginger for spice, or more tahini for a nutty flavor).

3

Use on top of salads. grain bowls, steamed vegetables, or grilled tofu.

Chef's Notes
