Just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of time and you’ll have a unique, flavorful, healthy salad dressing you’ll want to put on everything.
As with any vinaigrette, this recipe starts with a base of equal parts olive oil and acid, in this case lemon juice. Then a bit of maple syrup balances the acidity while ground ginger and onion powder add some flavor. But the real secret ingredient that boosts both the flavor and nourishment of this healthy vinaigrette is Earth Echo’s Golden Superfood Bliss!

Recipe Notes/Swaps
Feel free to swap the lemon juice for apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, or white wine vinegar. They’ll all taste a bit different but they’ll all be delicious!
For the best flavor, choose an olive oil that is cold-pressed and extra virgin. It’s the base of the vinaigrette and can make a real difference in the flavor.
Don’t have Golden Superfood Bliss? You can simply use ½ tablespoon of turmeric and a pinch of cinnamon in its place. But you will miss out on the depth of flavor and health benefits of the superfood blend.
This vinaigrette can be made in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
