Turmeric Sunshine Sauce

This dressing is so fresh and will brighten up any meal! Hence the sunshine name! The ginger, turmeric, garlic and lemon add loads of flavor with hardly any calories so feel free to layer this sauce on your bowl! This is a super lightweight sauce and coats the veggies and quinoa really nicely.

I’ve been craving bright, fresh flavors lately and this combo really hits the spot. You can make the dressing days ahead of time and keep in the fridge. Although, I am not sure if it will last for days because you’ll want to drink this stuff! At least, that’s what BMW did haha.

 

Healthy Lunch and Dinner Recipe

I love how this Turmeric Sunshine Sauce pairs with the roasted cauliflower and carrots in this bowl. You can definitely add some protein to this bowl if you wanted. Shredded or grilled chicken would be great, roasted salmon would be delish or even steak or chickpeas. Go crazy y’all!

Sometimes I just want tons of veggies and this is why I kept this bowl vegan. Whenever I’m feeling like I need extra veggies and fiber, I reach for this bowl!
