Wheat Free Sumac Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and layered with spice, this vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to pour it on everything. Sumac brings a fruity, almost wine-like tartness that deepens beautifully after a short soak in apple cider vinegar — the liquid turns a gorgeous deep burgundy before you even add anything else. A hit of fresh lemon juice, warm turmeric, and a whisper of ginger round it out into something that feels far more complex than the few minutes it takes to make. Every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat and gluten-containing grains, so there's no label-scanning or substitution required — just a clean, honest dressing from start to finish. The slow drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil while whisking creates a lightly emulsified texture that clings to greens, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls without feeling heavy. A touch of raw honey is optional but adds just enough sweetness to balance the acidity if your sumac is particularly sharp. Make a jar on Sunday and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week.
