This vibrant vegan, gluten-free vinaigrette, bursting with the flavors of curry, cumin, coriander, garlic, and lemon, is the perfect way to make your recipes sing with flavor! I have said this countless times, but plant-based salads do NOT have to be boring! In addition to all of those ingredients in your salad, from the greens to the veggies to the grains to the nuts, the salad dressing can be a key element to highlight your salad, as well as help you tenderize greens. In fact, healthy olive oil vinaigrettes can help you absorb the nutrients in your diet better, as well as promote heart health.

So, if you’re looking for a dressing that is healthy and light, but heavy on the flavor, this Curry Lemon Vinaigrette is a must-try! It’s one of my go-to dressings that tastes delicious on just about any salad, such as green salads, whole grain salads, pasta salads, and pulse salads. It’s especially delicious in this Curried Lentil Cauliflower Salad. In addition, you can use this vinaigrette as a marinade on tofu, tempeh, and veggies before roasting or grilling.

This dressing will inspire you to actually WANT to eat salads every day. Check out how to make this nutrient-rich, healthy vinaigrette in just 5 minutes.
