The Golden Dressing Your Spring Body Will Thank You For

Spring is here—and so is the perfect time to lighten up your meals, refresh your digestion, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

At Athreya, we believe that even the simplest rituals—like making a homemade dressing—can become deeply nourishing when rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom.

Let’s talk about our Golden Ayurvedic Dressing:
Warming, detoxifying, and gently stimulating, it’s especially ideal for Kapha types during the cool, heavy spring months. Made with seven powerful ingredients, this recipe is more than delicious—it’s balancing.

Ingredients

• 3 roots of fresh turmeric

• 3 inches of lemongrass (chopped)

• ½ lime, juiced

• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

• ½ tsp whole peppercorns

• 1 tbsp raw honey

• Himalayan salt to taste

• Water as needed for blending

 Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender.

2. Pour in a bit of water to start.

3. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to get your perfect consistency.

4. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.

This vibrant golden dressing pairs beautifully with raw or lightly steamed veggies, grain bowls, or even warm salads. The turmeric brings a deep earthiness, while lemongrass and lime cut through with brightness. The sesame seeds add depth, and the honey and pepper work synergistically to awaken Agni—your digestive fire.

🕊️ A note from Ayurveda:
Fresh turmeric is potent and heating, so it's best used with care. Kaphas can enjoy it in spring, but Pittas—especially in warmer seasons—may want to go easy. It’s not a daily habit, but a seasonal treat.

This is nourishment that knows your body. This is food that heals.
