I used 1.5 T maple syrup, 1 t turmeric and a grind of black pepper. Used this as a dipping sauce for roasted pumpkin-delicious!

Wonderful recipe, but to fully benefit from the healing/mediinal properties of tumeric you need to add some black pepper. Don’t take or question my word on it; google this up. Piperaine, the main active constituent in black pepper, makes the tumeric 1000x more bio-available and absorptive; without that you are basically just getting the flavor.

i also found the turmeric a little too intense and had to add a bit more maple plus a clove of garlic to get the dressing to taste more balanced. gobbled it up after that, but would recommend using quite a bit less to start and build it up to avoid doctoring the recipe

Delicious! I was in a hurry and needed something to add some flavor to baked potatoes with kale and veggies. This was perfect! Thank you.

I love the concept, but I found the amount of turmeric a bit overwhelming. I would start with a half or full teaspoon and then tweak to taste from there next time.

Quite a delicious sauce! Very versatile -- I made it twice in a row and used it on quinoa, tofu, vegetables, rice, etc.
