Toasted Sesame Asian Salad Dressing
If you are whipping up an Asian inspired salad, probably full of vegetables and some crunchy wontons, you need the perfect vinaigrette to finish it off. This Toasted Sesame Asian Salad Dressing is just the thing you have been looking for. It’s an easy and healthy dressing packing with amazing flavor and even a little crunch with toasted sesame seeds.
Asian Salad Dressing Recipe
This Toasted Sesame Asian Salad Dressing is full of flavorful sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and honey along with some fresh grated ginger. Then it is finished off with olive oil and blended up for a quick and easy salad dressing that packs a good punch of flavor without adding too many calories to your salad. The olive oil lightens things up because using all sesame oil would be overpowering.
If you have a big bad blender like the Vitamix I own and love, you can certainly use that to blend it up. I honestly prefer just making this in a wide mouth jar and giving it a quick whiz with my immersion blender. That way there is much less wasted dressing along the tall sides of the big blender. Best of all, I can just pop the lid on the jar and easily store it in the refrigerator.

This is a great dressing that boosts flavors in a simple salad.
The only changes I made were to double the sesame seeds and remove the honey.
Love love love it!

The picture is not what you end up with. The amount of soy sauce specified produces something far darker. This recipe doesn’t mimic the typical flavor of Asian Sesame dressing.

WHY do people give a recipe 5 stars and then say “I can’t wait to try this!!!” “I’m going to make this tonight!!!”
Yeah, that’s not a review, that’s a plan.

This dressing is excellent. I sliced a long English cucumber and placed in a container. I added 1/3 of each red, yellow and green pepper. The salad is so good it may not last through tomorrow. The only change I made was to add a little Maple syrup because I like my dressing a little sweeter. Thank you for sharing! I plan to use a little of to bake a small piece of salmon.

I was underwhelmed the first time I made this because I didn’t blend it – don’t skip this step! After using my immersion blender, it is fabulous and tastes just like the Kraft version (that I can’t find anywhere anymore).

I have been looking for a sesame dressing and this recipe is perfection! I sub soy for coconut aminos, but imagine it would be good either way.

I’m not sure how people can rate a recipe without trying it.
@Raeann Moore – thats exactly what I did, I cut back knowing I could always add more .
With the exception of cutting back on the soya sauce,I followed the recipe as presented,and I’ll make it again the same way. It is very good.
Thanks Danielle
