She’s purty and bright and all kinds of delish! Hello, sunshine. I first came up with this dressing to slather on Brussels Sprouts (hello, Curried Brussels Sprouts) when I was running our café, Alchemy. It became famous with our customers real quick. We couldn’t keep that guy on the shelves! The unique flavors of curry powder, almonds, and ginger pop in a way you want to keep coming back to. It makes veggies and bowls so FUN, ya know? For more dressing goodness, don’t miss my other healthy dressing recipes, like Italian Dressing, Mediterranean Salad Dressing and Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette. Salad game strong!
Ingredients
Almonds: Almonds add nutty flavor and delightful creaminess. They also thicken the dressing. I’ve tested this recipe with both raw and roasted, and I used roasted salted in my latest batch. Delish! Apple cider vinegar: Like my Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing, this adds delicious tang and brightness plus a slew of health benefits. Spices: Anti-inflammatory spices including turmeric, mild yellow curry powder, and dried ginger add amazing warm flavors. Maple syrup: To add just enough natural sweetness. Salt: Since there’s a bunch of almonds and water in this recipe, we need a good amount of salt to make the flavors pop.
Substitution ideas
Nut free: Try sunflower seeds instead. Vinegar: Swap for lemon juice (you may want a bit more). Almonds: I tested this recipe with cashew instead and it was delish!
Let’s make it!
How long does it keep?
This dressing will stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing it since the consistency will be different.
Delish serving ideas
over roasted cauliflower as a dip for roasted sweet potatoes or crackers spread on salmon then baked as a dressing for a simple green salad
