And that’s exactly what this Golden Spiced Salad Dressing does!
Golden Spiced Salad Dressing Ingredients
Everyone needs a go-to vinaigrette they can quickly whip up at a moment’s notice. And this vinaigrette only requires a handful of ingredients. The base is made up of a simple mixture of equal parts olive oil and lemon juice. From there, you’ll simply need a bit of maple syrup to balance the acidity of the lemon juice and some ground ginger and onion powder for flavor. But the real flavor secret in this dressing is the Golden Superfood Bliss!

This powerful blend of 12 superfoods helps to curb cravings and soothe occasional stress and anxiety while providing a mouthwatering blend of flavors to the vinaigrette. *
Recipe Notes
- You can easily replace the lemon juice in this recipe with vinegar. White wine, red wine, and apple cider vinegars would all work.
- For the olive oil, it’s best to use a really high quality, cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil. It creates the base of the vinaigrette and can make a real difference in the flavor.
- If you don’t have Golden Superfood Bliss, you can use ½ tablespoon of turmeric in its place. Though you will miss out on the depth of flavor and health benefits of the superfood blend.
- You can make this healthy vinaigrette in advance and store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
