Shrimp Salad with Turmeric Dressing

June 17, 2012 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski Leave a Comment

If I can order a shrimp salad at a restaurant, I almost always do. There are so many ways to make it and a multitude of dressings. The salad dressing below is made with turmeric, a spice often used in Indian foods.

Tumeric

The red rhizomes in the turmeric plant are often ground up and used as a curry or in curry mixes.  Turmeric adds an exotic red color to food and an earthy peppery flavor to shellfish, fish, and egg dishes.

Turmeric has become popular in the wellness community because curcumin, which is the main active constituent of turmeric, helps prevent the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.  Testing has also shown that curcumin assists in the prevention of prostate cancer and keeps breast cancer cells from spreading into the lungs. Scientists in Japan have proven that it is a broad-spectrum anti-cancer agent.
