Gluten Free Sumac Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and layered with warm spice, this vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to pour it on absolutely everything. Sumac brings a fruity, almost wine-like tartness that blooms beautifully after a short soak in apple cider vinegar — you can actually watch the liquid deepen to a rich burgundy before your eyes. A hit of fresh lemon juice keeps things lively, while turmeric and ginger add subtle warmth without overpowering the whole thing. Finely grated garlic ties it all together, and a drizzle of raw honey rounds out the acidity if you want just a touch of sweetness. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just a pantry-friendly dressing you can whisk together in minutes. It emulsifies into a silky, slightly thickened pour that clings to greens, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls without feeling heavy. Make a jar on Sunday and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
