A summer salad with fresh farmers market ingredients!

Every time I walk into the farmers market, it’s filled with different varieties of oranges so I like to pick up a variety and sample a few. Lately, I am in love with the cara cara oranges. They are pinkish orange in color on the inside and super sweet. Pair these oranges with the creamy deliciousness of avocados, and you’re sure to love the flavor combination.

For this salad, I used baby lettuce, arugula, and spinach as the base, but you can use your greens of choice.

Homemade Turmeric Dressing

Let’s talk about the dressing that is the heart of this salad. This Turmeric Mustard Dressing is to die for. It’s bright with a warm-earthy taste, a hint of ginger, and a kick of chili flakes. It has balanced flavors with the right amount of natural sweetness from the honey. For ages people have known about the health benefits of turmeric so I like to include it in my recipes whenever possible.

Health Benefits of Turmeric:

  • It has anti-inflammatory properties and it’s a great antioxidant.
  • Turmeric plays a role in preventing cancer.
  • It helps to lower the risk of heart and brain disease.
  • It helps boost brain development.
  • Turmeric reduces heartburn and aids in digestion.

Coming from an Indian household, we practically use turmeric every day. It’s great to see this powerful spice gaining popularity worldwide. You can include it in your diet by adding it in salads, stews, soups, smoothies, curries, and so much more.

This salad is a great side dish for dinner that complements many entrées. It’s on the lighter side so it pairs perfectly with pasta and rice dishes. It’s also the perfect lunch to take to the office!
