Grilled Sorted Vegetables with creamy turmeric sauce



Oh! Today is Monday, another green Monday!  I love cooking more with turmeric after watching a BBC program about Alzheimer's disease and how to keep our brain healthy.  According to lots of research, turmeric benefits to our health a lot such as pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cancer-preventative.  It can also lower cholesterol and protect the cardiovascular system.  I love its favor and color.  This recipe is easy and absolute mouth-watering.  If you like, you can add your favorite veggie to make it more colorful like green pepper and red pepper.
