Sharon Palmer

This vibrant vegan, gluten-free citrus 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 lemon salad 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 flavorful olive oil 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.

    • Yes, that’s a very good question. I use lemon juice instead of vinegar often in my vinaigrettes, which technically makes them a dressing. However, I think it’s fine to use the term vinaigrette, though many in the culinary world disagree with me!

  1. I made Lemon Curry Vinaigrette and added it and about two cups of cooked orzo to pan of sauteed shrimp. Stirred it up together on low for a minute or so to heat thoroughly and it was unbelievably delicious. I will be making this again. Thank you for such a fabulous recipe.
