This Toasted Sesame Dressing is the perfect asian-inspired dressing for salads, wraps, rice or noodle bowls. Calling for only slightly more than a handful of ingredients, means you can whip this up in minutes! Yields 3/4 cup and will serve 6 (2-tablespoon) servings. If you like extra dressing, consider making 1-1/2 or 2 times the recipe.
looking for the perfect sesame dressing?
I’ve got you. This dressing is slightly sweet, toasty and nutty with some ginger and garlic flair. And if you keep a well stocked fridge and pantry of some standard asian ingredients, you’re already ahead of the game.
Similar to my sesame chicken recipe I posted yesterday, it calls for toasted sesame oil, coconut aminos, ginger and garlic (to name a few) and one of my not-so-secret tips to creating quick and easy dressing and marinades is to use pre-grated fresh ginger and garlic. You can find these in the produce section of your grocery store.

Hello! This dressing is delicious. The sesame chicken is to die for (I’ve made it twice). It seems you left out the toasted sesame seeds from the ingredient list for the dressing, though they display prominently in the pictures. It is an outstanding recipe though! Thank you for another winner!
